A film linked to the Moors for the Future Partnership, which focuses on raising awareness about the need to care for our landscapes, and the conservation/research work already being carried out on moorlands in the South Pennines and Peak District. This particular film focuses on some of scientific work being carried out by Tom Spencer. The BMCTV logo is shown at the start of the film. Tom Spencer (scientist) is shown face to camera, with the moors in the background. ‘The Climate Project’ logo is shown. An aerial view shows a helicopter flying over the moors landscape in the Peak District. A [man] is shown talking to camera, wearing a ‘Moors for the Future Partnership’ branded gilet, with the moors shown in the background. A montage of shots show workers in the snow and adverse conditions doing measuring and monitoring work of the moors, followed by planting of sphagnum. Another montage of shots shows further adverse conditions in the form of climate change, such as moors fires and frozen moorland in winter, as well as nearby power stations. Tom Spencer, a scientist from the Moors for the Future Partnership team, is shown sitting on a large rock on the moors, talking face-to-camera. His name and job role appear. Tom is shown walking across the moors, carrying a large red rucksack. He reaches and points out a large bare peat control site. A helicopter is shown delivering lime, seed and fertiliser to the site; the materials are shown hanging from a rope beneath the helicopter, as a man in a high-vis vest directs the helicopter to the correct spot. Tom continues talking to the camera about the bare peat site. Helicopter shots show wind turbines, the moors landscape, and a birds-eye-view of the bare peat site. The muddy, black, eroded and polluted moors before the restoration work by the Moors For the Future are shown, intermittently with Tom talking face-to-camera. Tom is shown emptying materials and electrical supplies from his rucksack, next to an area of land containing monitoring equipment. Tom is shown digging out excess sediment from the water in which the equipment is placed. Tom is shown logging and reading data on an electrical device. Tom is shown walking across the green moorland carrying his rucksack. Tom is shown again sitting on the rock talking to the camera. Tom is shown walking across the green moorland to an area of restoration. Close-ups of grass, moss, rocks and other vegetation are shown. Tom collects water in a small test vial, and his recordings in a notebook are shown. Tom continues to talk to the camera about the project. A frog is shown, along with shots of the surrounding greenery. Tom takes his notebook out of his bag and marks down measurements. A birds eye view of the peat site is shown. Tom is shown standing up and addressing the camera, as close ups of the greenery on the peat site are shown. Aerial views of the peat site in stormy weather conditions are shown, including the heavy flow of water over the rocks and cliff edge. Tom addresses the camera again. Dull, bare peat is shown, followed by vibrant revitalised peat, rich in vegetation and moss. Tom is shown sitting on a large rock, addressing the camera again. Views of erosion on the moors are shown, in contrast to the views of healthy moorland. A mixture of shots show Tom using his equipment and notepad to measure the results of the work being carried out and noting them down, as well as electronic devices. He is also shown addressing the camera from the large rock that he is sitting on. Various views of volunteers carrying out restoration work are shown, including planting sphagnum or using measuring tools. Tom addresses the camera again.
