Heather moorland is a globally threatened habitat that worldwide is rarer than rainforest. The management of the moors for grouse shooting is the only reason that these moors are thriving in the UK.

How many full-time jobs does the shooting community support?👇 The equivalent of 74,000. Without shooting, a huge number of businesses and livelihoods would be decimated. It's an economic contribution that is worth celebrating and is worth protecting.

The game management sector contributes billions, supporting the equivalent of 74,000 full-time jobs. A vast amount spent in businesses around the country - on travel, accommodation, clothing, food/drink and much more. An income that runs in harmony with the rural community.
