15/08/2024: Drought; wildfires; Dry stone walls

After a wet year, two reports are published this week warning of the dangers of drought and wildfires.

After all the wet weather this year, there is talk of both drought and wildfires this week.

Two separate reports published this week have highlighted the threat they pose to people and the environment, both in the UK and further afield.

Dry stone walls are an integral part of our landscape from Orkney to Cornwall. It is estimated that there are about 180,000 miles of them - but that as many as 85% are in need of repair.
