Fires and FascismCommunity discussion from Inverness
The Bike Shed screening of Fires and Fascism offered a diverse range of topics. As ever there are threads that link them all!
Burning of muirs is (sorry...) a hot topic. While there's traditional land management which includes intentional burning, how do bloodsports - grouse shooting and the like - fit into this! Wealthy landowners are a small proportion of the population and yet, they have a lot of the land, on which they do these activities.
A sense of belonging should be accessible to everyone, and some raised the positive perspective that XR has enhanced a feeling of connection for autistic people.
But communities may need mediation, for issues within themselves or with others. Tensions can arise over things like the location of a bottle bank - perhaps no surprise when space simply isn't accessible to everyone.
Third spaces and venues like the Bike Shed are essential. When so much space is owned by the wealthy few, where can communities find a home?

I AmAnitaWhen I was younger I was accustomed to seeing ‘wild’ moorland and thinking that’s just the way it was - natural, beautiful in its own way. Now I am better informed and this sight makes me sad and angry. The antithesis of conservation, and the cause of very visible pollution @Christownsendoutdoors #GrouseMoor #GrouseShooting #HeatherBurning #Cumbria #Pennines
Petition: Ban driven grouse shooting
Chris Packham, Ruth Tingay and Mark Avery (Wild Justice) believe that driven grouse shooting is bad for people, the environment and wildlife. People; we think grouse shooting is economically insignificant when contrasted with other real and potential uses of the UK’s extensive uplands.
#Environment; muirburn contributes to #climate breakdown and drainage leads to flooding and erosion. Wildlife; the wholesale extermination of predators has a disastrous impact on the #ecology of these areas and the criminal practice of #RaptorPersecution has taken place. We believe it's time to provide an opportunity to implement immediate and meaningful measures to address what we see as an abhorrently destructive practice so that recovery of #moorlands can progress.

JuneSim63 💚A smidgeon of good news, thanks to the Scottish Green Party, which was instrumental in passing the Wildlife Management and Muirburn Act while in coalition government with the Scottish National party.
The glorious 12th isn't so glorious for grouse-shooting, now the act has come into effect. This cruel and environmentally damaging 'sport' has had its wings clipped.

Chris Packham: “Glen Coe is broken and needs fixing”
The naturalist and broadcaster said #GlenCoe should not be a "barren moorland", but feature patches of native #woodlands.
