Graze The Moor

"Graze the Moor was an unusual, possibly unique, example of a landowner questioning accepted practice on moorland management and working with others to explore different
ways of working. It learnt from historic land management, trialled new methods, was not afraid to be bold, was open and honest about successes and failures."

(Sarah Bryan, Chief Executive, Exmoor National Park Authority.

The Graze the Moor Project ran from April 2014 to March 2019. The project provided scientists and farmers with the opportunity to trial different methods and techniques to restore heather moorland and understand the costs, benefits and challenges of moorland grazing.
