National Goose Forum
Overview
We established the National Goose Forum (previously, the National Goose Management Review Group, NGMRG) in May 2000 to implement the national policy framework and to advise Scottish Ministers on goose management in Scotland.
The Forum is required to conduct a multi-disciplinary review of the national policy framework every five years, and to report its findings to ministers.
Its core objectives are to:
- meet the UK's nature conservation obligations for geese, within the context of wider biodiversity objectives
- minimise economic losses experienced by farmers and crofters caused by geese
- maximise the value for money of public expenditure on geese management
