Thank you to all to all those who met in February at Barnard Castle for the 2025 Upland Game Conference. The overall message was clear: to safeguard a future for grouse moor management, upland estates across England and Scotland must work together and do their best to capture as much data as possible, using the latest technology.

The Upland Game Conference, formerly known as the North of England Grouse Seminar, has revamped for 2025 to offer something for landowners, land managers, gamekeepers, and conservationists alike.

This week saw the 12th North of England Grouse Seminar in Harrogate, run by the GWCT’s Uplands Research Team. Almost 200 delegates with a wide variety of backgrounds gathered to listen to the most up-to-date science around moorland management.
