Opportunity Details | Creating Capercaillie Habitat - Balmoral Estate
Opportunity Name:
Creating Capercaillie Habitat - Balmoral Estate |
|
Description:
What is the plan for the day?
You’ll be volunteering with the Balmoral Ranger Team to complete a range of tasks to create more habitat for capercaillie in the Woods of Garmaddie. Tasks will include:
There are now only 532 capercaillie left in the UK. Over 85% of them live in the Cairngorms National Park. Action in the National Park is therefore critical to prevent extinction in the UK and build a long-term future for the species.
There are several fundamental issues facing capercaillie, not least available habitat, predator management and human disturbance. Your help to create more habitat for capercaillie on Balmoral Estate is part of an ongoing effort to improve and create over 10,000 hectares of habitat for capercaillie across the National Park as part of the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project.
