Dartmoor National Park look pan di face a it fi be completely empty, but in fact it very busy an deh deh a lot a competing interests, deh deh a lot a competing views pan how fi use di park. Exhibitions like di one at di RAMM really important fi bring di multiplicity a views to di public, an if we nuh keep educating people pan dat deh subject, deh deh a real risk dat people's views naa go be heard an Dartmoor naa go be able fi serve everybody
