Grow Wild grassland management survey 2025

Overview

Grow Wild for Perth and Kinross

Following successful grassland management trials undertaken from 2021 - 2024 across 198 sites, we are extending this new approach over the next 2 years as part of the 'Grow Wild' campaign.  In 2024 we extended our trials to Perth and the surrounding area.  From 2025, we'll start to roll this out across the remainder of the Perth and Kinross area, allowing for the development of a sustainable long-term action plan, while also reducing maintenance costs at up to 1,700 of the 1,900 sites which we currently maintain.

Why your views matter

Our open spaces are for everyone to enjoy so it's important that all views are taken into consideration.  Please let us know your thoughts, good and bad, what we're doing well and how we can improve.  You can suggest additional areas, propose pathways through long grass areas and sign up for some much needed wildlife monitoring.

As in previous years, we'll review the survey responses regularly to look for new ideas which we can implement on our sites.  We hope that the Grow Wild areas will increase over time based on wildlife monitoring and feedback from the surveys.
