Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of environmental protection or improvement'

The Heather Trust initially aimed to balance grouse and sheep farming interests on UK moorlands. Today, we have broadened our focus to champion the wider values of heather moorland habitats. In understanding and integrating economic, social, and environmental needs, we strive to manage moorlands efficiently, effectively, and sensitively. We support and commission a range of research projects – each one providing vital information to help further our objectives and from which we disseminate the most up-to-date findings to land managers, practitioners, policy makers and the public through events, the media, forums and workshops. Our impartiality is valued and we are trusted to chair and facilitate meetings and gatherings where, sometimes disparate, interests and views on moorland management are shared and discussed. We recognise the importance of multiple land uses and seek to work with all stakeholders. We advise government agencies and participate in working groups.
