The Heather and Grass Burning Code was published in 2007 and sets out voluntary guidance for land owners and managers in England (you can view it here).
Natural England has been commissioned by Defra to work with stakeholders to provide input to a “refreshed” code that will be published by Defra later in 2025. The Moorland Association is among the organisations which have been invited to attend two workshops in February and March where a range of stakeholders will work collaboratively to produce material to inform this update.
To help us represent your views on the Code, please complete this short survey (only 3 questions) by Friday 7th February 2025.
