The Bishopbriggs Golf Club has been awarded a Biodiversity Grant co funded by East Dunbartonshire Council and Scottish National Heritage.
We are delighted with this award of £1187. This money will fund a wild flower planting project on an out of play area on the golf course. (The grass banking at side of the old 6th fairway )
The work will begin in the spring next year and when complete will create further areas of sustainable biodiversity to both improve the ecological value of rough grasslands to increase biodiversity value and provide invaluable habitat corridors that help to link other semi-natural/natural habitats together both within the golf course and beyond.
This award goes some way in assisting the golf club in achieving our objective
Of providing a quality of golf course, which, through the design, playing surface, general presentation and environmental consideration places Bishopbriggs among the top inland courses in the West of Scotland.
