Muirburn code consultation response

This document contains a letter from the Cairngorms National Park Authority to NatureScot regarding their consultation on the Muirburn Code. The Park Authority is concerned about muirburn practices in the National Park and wants to ensure best practices are followed. They recommend including considerations for high fire risk periods, making the 10m buffer around trees mandatory, extending buffer zones around water courses to align with Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) guidelines, setting an upper limit to burn size, and clarifying definitions within the code. They also offer their local knowledge to NatureScot on muirburn license applications to ensure benefits within the National Park.
