Scotland's First Biodiverse Town
Blairgowrie is leading the way in creating a sustainable, nature-rich environment for future generations through community-driven conservation efforts
Creating a Thriving Ecosystem
We have been working with Catherine Lloyd of the Tayside Biodiversity Partnership who has been helping to set up Scotland's first Biodiversity Villages at St Madoes and Glencarse and Guildtown. Because of the work undertaken during 2020 and 2021, the creation of our own Blairgowrie & Rattray Biodiverse Action Plan which integrates with our Community Action Plan and the activities being driven by the Open Spaces Group, Catherine was delighted to advise that we are the first town in Scotland to commit to being a Biodiverse Town.
We are aware there are many towns, villages and neighbourhoods working to integrate biodiversity into their communities and we hope that they will join us in helping Scotland become a Biodiverse Country aiming for Carbon Net Zero and No Net Loss of Biodiversity.
