Black Grouse Lekking at Glen Finglas│Woodland Trust

Black Grouse have seen a catastrophic decline in the last two decades, but at Glen Finglas we have a stable population thanks to our management approach. In the last 25 years, we’ve created approx. 1,500ha of new native woodland via a mix of planting and natural regeneration. This has created plentiful woodland fringe habitat - perfect for black grouse shelter and food.

I am heartened to read of this hard and careful work and conservation done by Woodland Trust and partners and volunteers.
I notice comments.Well there is much work done in England too,and often in partnership with landowners.Smithhill estate ,areas of River Lune and North Yorkshire come to mind.There are Black grouse sites in the Pennines.
