To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish its strategic action plan on wildfires.
The Scottish Government’s strategic action plan on wildfires will be published on 5 March 2026. It can be accessed via the Scottish Government’s website: https://www.gov.scot/isbn/9781806438983
Following extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, the action plan draws on lessons learned from the 2025 wildfire season and takes account of practice within the UK and internationally. The purpose of the action plan is to set out the practical and ongoing improvements that the Scottish Government and partner organisations intend to make to our preventative practices, our national preparedness and the management of our response to wildfires in Scotland.
