Tay Reed Beds
The Tay Reed Beds - Areas of reed are cut to provide structure, including open and wet habitat and reed edge to provide ideal conditions for wildlife, including Reed buntings and Bearded tits, which can feed in the more open areas and move to the reedbeds for breeding. Cutting also prevents natural succession to woodland and helps to maintain the reedbed, and can supply reed for commercial use.
