Fires have been blazing in the area since Monday 11 August with farmers aiding emergency services.
NFU Deputy President David Exwood said: “The farmers and firefighters battling the wildfires on Langdale Moor deserve our heartfelt thanks for their bravery and dedication. In incredibly challenging conditions, they are working tirelessly to protect people, livestock and wildlife.
“Their efforts underline the crucial role of upland farmers, who not only support their communities but also care for the landscape in all weathers.
“As the impacts of our changing climate becomes clear, it’s important to reflect on lessons learned from upland management while also recognising the vital support needed for those who work tirelessly to care for vulnerable landscapes like our upland moors.”
'Help has been outstanding'
Tom Hind, CEO of the North York Moors National Park Authority, said: “A huge thank you to our farmers and gamekeepers for their continuing efforts in supporting North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service during this challenging time.
“Your help in firefighting and control has been outstanding, and I know the crews are deeply appreciative. This help hasn’t just come from those in the immediate area, but also from much further afield. Some have travelled significant distances with equipment, while others have offered grazing and stabling. The scale and commitment of this response has been remarkable, and the National Park community as a whole is profoundly grateful.”
