After a busy few days at Game Fair, GWCT is heading to the historic grounds of Blenheim Palace for BBC Countryfile Live.

We are experiencing an exceptional heatwave. Drought conditions are having severe impacts on arable crop yields and the forage available for livestock.  

Conservationists have heaped praise on grouse moor owners for resisting grants, from successive governments, to drain their heather moors and plant commercial forestry blocks, on what is now recognised as a globally rare habitat.

IN just a few days’ time, GWCT will be heading to Ragley Hall, Warwickshire for the 60^th Game Fair (July 27^th to July 29^th). Our stand number E422 is in a prominent place – opposite the event’s flagship Carter Jonas Game Fair Theatre – and we will be selling delicious bacon sandwiches and hot/cold drinks throughout the three days.

C&R Technologies Ltd are extremely pleased to have been asked again to provide the GWCT stand at the 2018 Game Fair with FREE Wi-Fi for it’s members and guests.

Numerous options within agri-environment schemes provide an opportunity to encourage pollinating insects on farmland by creating diverse flower-rich areas where bees and other insects can forage. 

Scotland’s stunning hills and moors helped inspire a brand-new range of dog drying coat from award-winning business Dogrobes.

They say it’s the people that make the place and we believe that to be very true here at the Allerton Project. Our original charitable objectives set out by Lord and Lady Allerton, still stand today, one of which is the advancement of public education into different farming methods. 

The legend that Saint Melangell went to Wales to escape a forced marriage may be true but Jim Perrin’s claim that grey partridges run in the lanes around her church, is false (Country diary: no sanctuary for hunted partridge at Melangell’s church, July 14^th).

The GWCT is looking for volunteers to take part in our Who Wants to be a Conservationaire quiz at the Carter Jonas Game Fair Theatre.
