We have two important courses taking place in September and October at the GWCT Allerton Project in Leicestershire. Both courses have very limited places available.
We’re running our popular part-time gamekeepers course from 26-28th September, which covers just about every aspect of running a small shoot imaginable including:
- Rearing and releasing pheasants and partridges
- Growing game crops
- Predation control
- Woodland management
- Feeding regimes
- Game shoot economics
- Wetlands for wildfowl
- Conservation of farmland wildlife

From 11-13th October we’ll be running the BASIS course on Game Management at Allerton. With no formal qualification for professional game managers currently available, this course is aimed at all individuals who have responsibility for managing a shoot, including head keepers, singlehanded keepers, estate managers, land agents, landowners, shoot managers and shoot captains.
Areas covered on the three-day course include:
- Predation control
- Farmland habitat management for game and wildlife
- Woodland management for game and wildlife
- Game crops
- Releasing game
- Game shoot management
- Self-regulation within the shooting sector
