Land Reform has long been an emotive topic in rural affairs, and there is a renewed push for reform from the Government with the recent ‘Land Reform in a Net Zero Nation’ consultation ahead of a Bill in 2023. We have submitted a robust response to the consultation, informed by evidence and the realities of land management.
Land Reform impacts all land managers, not just those at a large scale, so we are running Land Reform Roadshows across the country and online to ensure that we can reach as many members as possible.
The events are an invaluable opportunity to discuss some of the potential proposals in the upcoming Bill, and for Scottish Land & Estates to present the work we are undertaking to ensure members’ voices and interests are represented in this important conversation. Please book your place now to avoid disappointment!
