Muirburn Code Review - Critique Phase ending

People with an interest in muirburn have been contacted and invited to contribute to the critique phase of the review.  They are reminded that their feedback has been requested by 8 March.

The Scottish Government has commissioned Scotland's Moorland Forum to start work on a review of the Muirburn Code. The first phase of this is a critique phase that includes the existing Code but also provides and opportunity to contribute to the development of the format of the revised Code and topics to be covered by it.

The feedback received in response to the invitation will be collated into a report that will be discussed and then forwarded to the Scottish Government. When the review process has been agreed, instructions will be issued to the Forum. 

The intention is that the new Code will be in place for the 2014-2015 muirburn season.
