Bracken Control in Loch Lomond National Park

See the article on the Grough website that describes a collaborative project, the Callander Black Grouse Project, that operates across 6 farms and estates in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.  The project has attracted funding of £720,000 from the Scottish Rural Development Programme.
The project includes a bracken control programme that aims to improve the habitat for Black grouse.  There are quotes from Scot Nisbet at LL&TNPA and from me.
