Heather moorlands are rarer than rainforest and found mainly in Britain.

Managing this unique habitat and ensuring its survival for future generations is of paramount importance.

“The Keeper” is an award-winning free DVD, which gives an insight into this iconic landscape, is an ideal educational resource which can help young people make sense of the world around them and the environment in which they live. It is also of relevance to topics taught in Key Stage Three Science, Geography and English and gives a well-rounded overview of moorland management for those studying countryside management in Further and Higher Education.

In the DVD - which comes with an accompanying booklet giving supplementary information about the habitat, management, the Red Grouse and other upland birds - Adam meets gamekeeper Fred after becoming separated from his school party on the moors.

On the journey to reunite Adam with his school minibus, Fred takes time to teach him about the moorlands – the landscape, the wildlife it supports, the birds that need protecting, the importance of sustainable management and the need to maintain a balance to ensure this unique habitat is saved for generations to come.
