Turning land within Penwith Moors into site of special and scientific interest would be ‘disastrous’ for farmers, say critics
An ambitious plan to turn moorland in the far south-west of England into a heavily protected nature conservation area has been called “disastrous” by farmers and landowners.
Natural England is proposing to designate 59 blocks of land within Penwith Moors in Cornwall as a site of special and scientific interest (SSSI), arguing this will preserve precious flora and fauna.
