Several organisations have advisers who are local experts on black grouse and their needs. You can arrange a free site visit, to find out what you can do to help these wonderful birds. As well as suggesting ways to improve habitats for black grouse, advisers can often help to find funding for the work to be undertaken. Some also organise training events for land managers and advisers who want to help black grouse.
