No more muirburn (linear tracts of upland heather moor burnt to encourage young grouse), and clear regeneration of trees thanks to their policy of deer management.

Would love to see other examples of dramatic changes like this! The Landsat data isn't very high resolution, but you can see big changes over long periods.
