Fossils Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I glanced again at the photo in last week's Courier, of a fireperson tackling a blaze between The Sound and Cregneash, and was surprised to see several electricity pylons in the background. Is this something that we should know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Gotcha. Is gorse burning still a land management practice here? Come to think of it I haven't seen gorse fires since I have been back, but every autumn years ago there would be plenty to clear the land for the following year's ... grazing, I guess.

Mission Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Someone (think it was Tango) posted some photo's (last year?) of field burning / land management iirc. might have been gorse - not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
