Tour given by Peter Settlefield, agronomist and the Firle Shoot Manager, accompanied by the Head Keeper David Moore and GWCT advisory.

“Game and wild-bird cover crops merit just as much attention as any others to get the best from them. Sited and properly grown they can be equally rewarding,” so says Peter Settlefield of Firle where the relatively sparse woodland is used mainly for releasing, not shooting, 34ha are devoted to game crops. A game cover is a true crop grown for a purpose. Wild bird cover isn’t reliable because of the uncertainty of establishments and restrictions on the species you can use.
