Muirburn

The Muirburn Group of the Forum advises the Scottish Government on muirburn issues.  The Group includes members from outside the Forum and is thus uniquely placed to provide cross-sector advice on the full range of muirburn issues - from policy through best practice to burning techniques.

The Group is providing advice in three areas:

  • Licensing of out of season muirburn
  • The possible extension of the muirburn season into September (it currently runs from 1 October to 15 / 30 April)
  • A review of the Muirburn Code

A separate page is available to members of the Muirburn Group, which provides access to papers that cover the ongoing work of the Group.
