PKC Managed for Wildlife Consultation

Date: Thursday 17 February

Taken from the PKC website:

To improve biodiversity and help mitigate climate change PKC will be managing some areas in selected parks and other open spaces in a special way in 2022 on a trial basis. 

They will be managing areas within 8 sites with a view to improving these for native flowers, bees, butterflies and other wildlife by cutting the grass once in September/October and removing the trimmings. In addition, selected areas within 37 sites will be allowed to naturalise which will also help reduce our carbon footprint. 3 of our sites will have both styles of management on trial, these being Perth’s South Inch, Viewlands Reservoir and Larghan Park in Coupar Angus.

In many areas they will reduce the use of weedkiller and do less strimming, particularly around trees. Where appropriate we will plant more bulbs and locally grown native plants and trees.
