The vast moors of Yorkshire, in the north of England, are quite a poem... anyone who has had the pleasure of admiring it will forever keep its memory engraved in their heart. Here, we are not talking about incredible landscapes, but about an emotional shock, as it grips the guts. And yet, far from being natural, the English heath, which today covers 40% of the territory, has nothing natural about it. It is the result of hard work of selective burning carried out by man, to prevent the forest from expanding. Today, the heath is a source of controversy and part of the territory is being revitalized as a forest, in order to develop the timber industry and reduce greenhouse gases.
