PROTECTED SPECIES: PLANTS AND FUNGI.
In Scotland, all wild plants are protected from being uprooted without the landowner’s permission, and some species enjoy greater protection. All wild plant and fungi species receive a level of protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). Some more rare or vulnerable species are given added protection under Schedule 8 of the same Act.
Three Scottish plant species are European protected species:
- Killarney Fern.
- Slender Naiad.
- Yellow Marsh Saxifrage.
KIDS WHO AM I?
- Our young are called Squabs.
- Female never lays more than two eggs
- I like to eat crops like cabbages, sprouts, peas and grain. Also buds, shoots, seeds, nuts and berries.
- Largely grey, pinkie/purple with white neck patch.
- A little shy in woodland, but very friendly in town.
- You will hear me cooing.
Please remember to bring TWEEZERS and something to write with. Thanks
