I’ve still got an image of a lake that proposed for the centre of the Moor in the ealry 60s. The Moor compares badly with similar areas in, say, Paris, which are more wooded and have higher biodiveristy value. Pretty pictures of cattle grazing might be put next to what comes next in their lives, the abattoir. There are also conflicts between recreational use and wildlife. I used to talk my children when they were young to watch owls on the Moor but those birds were driven away by people flying toy powered gliders. So we have to decide what is the land for. The role of the Freemen in the city has been far from benign.
