2019

On 16 December 2019 Scottish Natural Heritage confirmed that the terms of the Scottish General Licences, which permit the taking of certain species for a variety of reasons, would remain unchanged from 2019 for the period 1 January 2020 – 31 March 2020.

Misleading statements made in bird culling spat.

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.

This spring we can look forward to a season packed full of exciting GWCT events and courses, including our first ever Game Scotland Conference.
