Abstract
The history of the Northern Pennines, as of most of upland Britain, is one of exploitation with little input. Harsh climatic conditions and poor soils have often led to extraction without regard for future productivity. Grouse shooting is an important source of income and keepers have been employed to improve conditions to give maximum grouse production; burning and draining are the means of management. Sheep have probably exerted the most obvious effect on the vegetation.
