Intro:
Enhancing the Biodiversity of Blairgowrie & Rattray.
As part of our work we became the first Biodiversity Town in Scotland in October 2021.
Our first areas of focus are:
- Davie Park
- Lochy Park
- Gamsie
- Elm Drive Suds
- Riverside
- Connect with the Dunkeld to Montrose B Line
The Open Spaces group formed in April 2021 to look at coordinating the use of all the public open spaces in Blairgowrie & Rattray. The aim is to manage them effectively and utilise them more for rewilding, growing fruit and veg and helping the town towards biodiversity.
Next Activity:
Continue our activities to support biodiversity as per notes from the meeting on 11 April.
