July

NatureScot have published their new Code of Practice for Grouse Moor Management ahead of the grouse shoot licensing scheme launching on Monday on 15th July 2024. 

We’re thrilled to unveil the latest additions to the GWCT Shop. Each of these new items has been thoughtfully curated to help you show your support for wildlife conservation while enjoying practical and stylish products.

Don't miss your chance to go grouse shooting with 7 friends in the Scottish Borders for only £40! This spectacular prize also includes a night’s accommodation for 16 guests.

The grey partridge was once common in the British countryside, but it has suffered a dramatic 94% decline since the 1980s. Grey partridges have been on the UK’s Red List since its inception in 1996. The bird is now essentially gone from Northern Ireland, the entire western coast of Britain, except in Anglesey, and continues to disappear locally throughout the rest of its former UK range. It is five to midnight for the grey partridge!

NatureScot announced that the grouse shoot licensing scheme will launch on 15th July 2024.
