A great first day at #ScotAgConf22 event hosted by @ScotAgritourism. Representing the growth of the sector and bringing like minded people together. A real perspective on the benefits that agritourism from sporting estates provide to the local economy. @MairiGougeon

📺 Hunting with Dogs Bill Stage 1 Debate in @ScotParl
We welcome @MairiMcAllan's commitment to continue working & engaging with stakeholders, as the Bill progresses on the issue of rough shooting
Rough shooting mustn't be unintentionally criminalised as a result of this Bill
In Scotland there is an imbalance between scientific knowledge and observational knowledge gleaned by rural workers daily. We need 2 move beyond this, for benefit of biodiversity. Sign the petition 2 have rural workers’ knowledge formally recognised. https://t.co/MfY9AV3Nxg
🔥 In @TheScotsman today, I set out how the role of muirburn has evolved. Once carried out to benefit livestock & grouse, the activity is now actively helping to promote moorland biodiversity & reduce wildfire risk. We need it now more than ever. https://t.co/zUU8wzwbYr
Thanks to @MairiMcAllan & all MSPs who attended our reception in conjunction with @BASCScotland & @thekennelclubuk to voice our concerns about the unintended consequences of the Hunting With Dogs Bill in @ScotParl today in relation to rough shooting and field trials.
THE VALUE OF SHOOTING
The findings of the Value of Shooting research will help to lobby governments and influence policymakers with independent and robust facts and figures that underpin the importance of shooting.

High above Perthshire, a covey of grouse takes flight. 14-year-old Archie Skinner lifts his barrels, takes aim and pulls the trigger. A single grouse tumbles from the air and is retrieved. A special moment. It is Archie’s first grouse - a memory he will love and cherish forever.
Many 'protected areas' do not actually benefit wildlife, study says, and shows it is a meaningless term unless it is accompanied by the appropriate management to protect the wildlife living there.
