![Pastures & homesteads. Hike through fields of purple heather flowers from Great Broughton to Blakey Ridge, in North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire county, England, United Kingdom, Europe. British taxpayers subsidize this privately-owned National Park, where the high, semi-natural moorland is managed by farmers and landowners for traditional sheep farming and grouse shooting. Burning the heather encourages new growth to provide food for sheep and the native red grouse (Lagopus lagopus scotica, a subspecies of willow ptarmigan). Controversial killing of foxes, stoats and crows (predator control) is done to increase grouse density. While only a rich elite can afford the regulated hunt for grouse, hunting infrastructure supports the local economy. Three types of heather grow on the North York Moors: 1) Ling (Calluna vulgaris), the most common type here, has very tiny pink flowers generally blooming in mid- to late-August; 2) Bell heather has dark pink or purple bell-shaped flowers; 3) Cross-leaved heath, found in boggy areas, blooms with pale pink bell-shaped flowers.

![Hike through fields of purple heather flowers from Trough House to Egton Bridge, in North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire county, England, United Kingdom, Europe. British taxpayers subsidize this privately-owned National Park, where the high, semi-natural moorland is managed by farmers and landowners for traditional sheep farming and grouse shooting. Burning the heather encourages new growth to provide food for sheep and the native red grouse (Lagopus lagopus scotica, a subspecies of willow ptarmigan). Controversial killing of foxes, stoats and crows (predator control) is done to increase grouse density. While only a rich elite can afford the regulated hunt for grouse, hunting infrastructure supports the local economy. Heather species here are: 1) Ling heather (Calluna vulgaris) with very tiny pink flowers generally blooming in mid- to late-August; 2) Bell heather with dark pink or purple bell-shaped flowers.
