At the Full Forum meeting in June 2014 it was agreed that The Principles of Moorland Management (published by the Forum in 2003) had not been as widely used as intended. Simple, clear operational guidance would be extremely helpful and welcomed by land managers.
The process to develop the content of such guidance would involve sharing good practice events and engaging with practitioners.
The Project Plan, as agreed by the Forum, can be viewed here, but it is expected to evolve as the project progresses.
