Dartmoor is at a Crossroads

Written for the Summer 2021 issue of Dartmoor Magazine, this article uses the large wildfire near Tavy Cleave in February 2021 as a starting point to examine the underlying causes: decades of grazing policy change, the spread of ungrazed Molinia, and the build-up of fuel load on the moor.
