A land agent with responsibility for Lord Vestey’s grouse moors on the Stean estate in North Yorkshire was recently cleared of permitting a gamekeeper to store pesticides illegally.
After three days of legal submissions, the RSPB offered no evidence against Simon Clowes of Davis & Bowring Sporting Agency. The prosecution followed a raid by the RSPB and North Yorkshire police at Moor House Farm, Nidderdale, in 2007.
