This document contains an Integrated Wildfire Management Plan for the Cairngorms National Park (National Park). The plan addresses reducing wildfire risks, improving firefighting effectiveness, and building wildfire resilience. It includes recommendations for land managers such as conducting wildfire risk assessments, adhering to muirburn licensing, and managing vegetation to reduce fuel loads. The plan also emphasizes the importance of community engagement, communication strategies, and collaboration among stakeholders such as Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), landowners and local communities. The Park Authority is tasked with developing messaging frameworks, providing support, and ensuring recommendations are integrated into planning policies, and will conduct an annual review.
