The Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust and Holts Auctioneers are working together to offer a solution to what to do with your guns when there’s no one in the house to use them anymore. 

In order to counter some of the myths around heather burning and its impact on the uplands, we have identified five common confusions around controlled fire.

A fantastic effort from farmers across the UK has helped secure a best-ever year for the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust’s (GWCT) Big Farmland Bird Count (BFBC).

We respond to the announcement in February 2019 from Roseanna Cunningham MSP, Cabinet Secretary for the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform, that the Eurasian or European beaver would be granted protected species status in Scotland from 1 May 2019.

A new paper underlines the importance of unlocking the conflict that has driven the illegal killing of harriers, a point first made by the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust in 1998.

They support eighteen species of European or global importance, for example. Robbie Marsland, of the League Against Cruel Sports, and his friends at Revive, may not be fans of grouse shooting but suggesting we should neglect this precious heather habitat, in the name of ‘social justice’, is a bit extreme.
