Black grouse UK BAP contacts

The delivery of the UK Biodiversity Action Plan for black grouse is co-ordinated by the Lead Partners and the statutory Contact Point, nominated by the government. However, much of the work is specific to particular organisations and projects in England, Scotland and Wales.

Some matters are co-ordinated at a UK level, including:
- monitoring and surveys
- management good practice
- sharing information (such as through this website)
- reporting on progress to government
