Shared Planet Hen Harriers: Trust in Conservation Hen harriers on Langholm Moor

See how Langholm Moor is working to help hen harriers and grouse share the same land

  • Langholm Moor gamekeepers monitor the raptor population
  • Hen harriers are a protected species but are often unwelcome on game reserves as they reduce the number of grouse for the shoot
  • Simon Lester, head gamekeeper at Langholm Moor, is helping research how grouse and predators can co-exist on the reserve
  • The reserve places chicks and rats as 'diversory prey'. The reserve's results suggest this has caused 80% less grouse predation
