- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government which organisation controls heath and heather areas in the north-west of England, and where those areas are.

Management control of heathland and other habitats with heather in the North West rests with a range of public and private entities.
There are three types of priority habitat that are dominated by heather: (i) lowland heath; (ii) upland heathland; and (iii) mountain heath and willow scrub.
