Grouse Moor Management Group
Overview
The Grouse Moor Management Group was established in November 2017. It will examine the environmental impact of grouse moor management practices such as muirburn, the use of medicated grit and mountain hare culls, and advise on the option of licensing grouse shooting businesses.
The Group will consider other topics relevant to grouse moor management, referred to it by Government, or raised by the Chair.
Final report
The Group submitted its final report to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform, Roseanna Cunningham MSP, on 18 November 2019. The Scottish Government will give a formal response to the Group's recommendations before the Scottish Parliament in due course.
