Out of a total of 43 Czech project sites, measures at three sites are aimed directly at supporting the black grouse. The black grouse is constantly present around and its abundance is verified every year during the spring mating period. Namely, these are the localities of \u010cern\u00fd K\u0159\u00ed\u017e and Dobrovodsk\u00e9 louky in the Vltava floodplains, where a significant part of the \u0160umava population of the black grouse is concentrated and the locality of Novosv\u011btsk\u00e1 slata in the valley of Vyd\u0159\u00ed potok above Borov\u00e1 Lada.<\/p>\n

In these sites, the water regime of peatlands, which are a key habitat for black grouse, will be restored. It uses them for nesting, as a source of feed and, last but not least, it serves as a shelter. The presence of open areas is also very important, which the black grouse prefers as a mating ground. We try to support the offer of these areas by mowing wet meadows around peat bogs. We have been mowing at the Dobrovodsk\u00e9 louky (5.7 ha) and Novosv\u011btsk\u00e1 slat\u011b (1.6 ha) sites since 2019. We will not start mowing at \u010cern\u00fd K\u0159\u00ed\u017e until 2021. Lease relations were not clearly resolved there until last summer, and in the autumn 2020, construction work on the restoration of the water regime took place, and were successfully completed on time.<\/p>\n

Due to the fact that we were forced to postpone mowing at the \u010cern\u00fd K\u0159\u00ed\u017e site for two years compared to the original plan, we selected several alternative localities – wet meadows adjecent to peatland habitats, where the black grouse was observed in the past. As in 2019, last year we mowed in the Ra\u0161kov site in Jelensk\u00e9 \u00fadol\u00ed (1.7 ha) and in Nov\u00fd \u00dadol\u00ed near Dolnokr\u00e1snohosk\u00e1 road (0.4 ha). We have recently started mowing at the B\u0159ezov\u00e1 Lada site in the Tepl\u00e1 Vltava valley, where cattle grazed until then, which, unfortunatelly, caused damage to peaty meadows. A total of four plots with a total area of \u200b\u200b3.4 ha were mowed at this site. Together, almost 13 ha of wet and peaty meadows were mowed in all project sites in 2020. During the project, we will continue mowing in all the above-mentioned sites, until the final year 2024.<\/p>\n
