The GWCT Advisory team are running several essential courses for game and wildlife managers in the first part of 2023. Our courses are highly practical, with a focus on hands-on learning and real-world application. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field and gain valuable skills and knowledge that they can apply in their work.
