The 7,500-acre Emblehope Moor has been purchased by restoration firm Restore, which plans to reintroduce species like golden eagles and beavers to the former shooting estate.

This model aims to balance private investment with public benefit, providing a new approach to large-scale land management in the UK uplands.
