The April 2021 wildfires caused purple moor grass "to really take off" and prevented other plants, like heather, growing back.

"You're looking for more of a mosaic of vegetation in the ground, whereas here you've just got purple moor grass coming back so far, a year on from the fire," the National Trust wildfire recovery ranger said.

"Depending on the grazing results onsite, we can just send them to different areas to improve the condition of the habitat, breaking that dominance of purple moor grass."

With cooler temperatures and shorter days, fall foliage on both the purple moor grass and the beautyberry turns golden, like they’re grasping at the diminishing sun.

Some green shoots of moor grass are poking through the black.
