FGS Target Area - Predator Control for Black Grouse

This dataset is derived from data supplied the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and is based on information from the BTO Bird Atlas 2007-11. Scottish Forestry would like to thanks BTO for their approval to use this data.


The areas defined in this dataset can help support predator control to benefit black grouse which are vulnerable to predation. This support is offered via the Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS) - Sustainable Management of Forests - Species Conservation - Predator Control for Capercaillie and Black Grouse.

Statement

This dataset is derived from data supplied the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and is based on information from the BTO Bird Atlas 2007-11. Scottish Forestry would like to thanks BTO for their approval to use this data.


The black grouse areas are based on 10km squares where the presence of the species is defined as possible, probable or confirmed. The original data also contains 10km squares recorded as non-breeding. These have been removed from this dataset.


The 10km square data was merged together ("dissolved") to form larger polygons. The data defnitions (possible, probable, confirmed) are removed as part of this process as this is not required for FGS targeting.


The final stage of processing was to introduce a north/south split to indicate the stable northern population and declining southern population. This runs from the Sound of Mull in the west to the Forth Estuatry in the east. This can impact on FGS selection criteria used to ensure value for money.
