The National Trust terminated the shooting tenancy on Kinder and part of Bleaklow following an incident last winter where a gamekeeper was filmed trying to shoot a Hen Harrier using a decoy bird. However it’s not yet been decided if a further shooting tenant will be taken on. <\/p>\n
The club has given its support to the a petition to the NT which supports the termination of the tenancy as described above and “c<\/strong>alls on the NT not to renew the shooting tenancies on these two Estates (Hope Woodlands and Park Hall Estates (covering Kinder Scout, Bleaklow, Black Ashop Moor, Birchinlee Pasture etc)), <\/span>in Derbyshire when they expire.<\/b> (Instead, the NT should take the opportunity to work with other partners to establish a wilder landscape, free of intensive grouse-management, where wildlife can recover and thrive and not be subject to illegal persecution.)”<\/p>\n
