I haven’t been able to share photographic evidence of this scandal yet, because my sources asked me not to.
But today I’ve been given permission to share these (they’re nowhere near the worst I’ve seen).

When the @DartmoorSociety hosted a walk across Gidleigh and shared these maps, we were shown a tiny patch of thriving, healthy heather. The farmers had demonstrated there that they know what to do to. Free them. Get rid of the @NaturalEngland and SSSI bully tactics.

We’re pleased to see @McDonaldsUK using British sheep’s wool to insulate their new green restaurant in Market Drayton. We know wool has great insulating properties, is fire retardant and is not based on fossil fuels or irritants such as fibreglass!

NSA supports many of the recommendations included in the #NationalFoodStrategy, but still questions some assumptions made around the carbon footprints of the UK’s predominantly grass-based ruminant (cattle and sheep) production.
