REVIVE, the coalition for grouse moor reform is at SNP conference this weekend

REVIVE, the coalition for grouse moor reform is attending the SNP’s annual conference which starts today.

We have a stand (#17) all weekend where conference delegates can drop by for a chat and pick up copies of our various reports:

On Saturday we’re hosting a fringe event (Sidlaw Room, Level 2) from 12.30 – 13.30hrs on the subject of land reform. Here are the programme notes:

LAND REFORM, TAXATION & POWER: LEVERS FOR RESHAPING SCOTLAND’S LAND

This land is your land but huge swathes of Scotland have been dominated by large landowners and sport shooting interests, enabling unequal land ownership models to persist. In the meantime carbon credits are providing green finance but can it be done better and for the public good instead of private profit? Join us at an opportune time – with an imminent new land reform bill – to discuss levers for progressive change which can be used to achieve transformational land reform for our people, wildlife and environment.

Our panel of speakers will include Max Wiszniewski (REVIVE Campaigns Manager), Dr Helen Armstrong (Sustainable land use consultant at Broomhill Ecology), Dr Craig Dalzell (Head of Policy & Research at Common Weal) and Kate Forbes MSP, Deputy First Minister.

If you’re attending the conference, drop by and say hello!
