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.
