2025

Gamekeepers, estate managers, land agents and shooting organisations from across the North of England and Scotland gathered for this year’s Upland Game Conference in Barnard Castle, Co. Durham, to hear from a wide range of speakers including scientists specialising in upland research, policy experts and advisors on moorland management techniques.

The GWCT’s annual Game Conference is promising to deliver an excellent line-up of speakers and a day packed with insightful and informative talks. This year’s event will take place on Tuesday 18 March at the charity’s headquarters at Fordingbridge in the New Forest.

A group of around 60 farmers and families gathered for a special Big Farmland Bird Count social event at Adfa Village Hall in Powys, mid-Wales, in preparation the UK’s annual census of farmland birds.

We are pleased to announce that our GWCT Game Conferences are back for 2025. 

We've teamed up with Scottish Land & Estates and the Scottish Regional Moorland Groups to put on a series of Pie & Pint Evenings.

We’re running three full-day courses across the country, covering fox control, corvid control and tunnel trapping for small mammals.
