Additional information |
Existing recovery areas in Wales and Northern England will continue to be a priority, with targets for expanding range and increasing population in both these areas. Specific recovery areas in Scotland will be identified following the results of the 2005 survey. Range expansion should be focussed on linking existing populations, in addition to expanding current strongholds. |
Monitoring information |
Scarrabs surveys in 2005 and 2017, supplemented by surveys in recovery areas every 1-3 years. |
T2
Restore the range of black grouse to 300 occupied 10km squares by 2010.

Existing recovery areas in Wales will continue to be a priority, with targets for maintaing range. Range expansion should be focussed on linking existing populations, in addition to expanding current strongholds, but not currently considered appropriate target for Wales, where maintenance will be diffciult to achieve. |
