📣Shooting Needs You: Have Your Say
The government has launched a 2 month call for evidence on every aspect of game shooting in England, with the deadline for submissions closing on 1st November
If you are involved in shooting, either as a shoot owner, gun, rural business, game keeper, picker-up, be**er or provide services to the shooting community, please take the time to submit evidence to Defra before the deadline
To find out how you can help, we have put together some key information and links on our News & Reports page (link in bio) or BASC - The British Association for Shooting and Conservation have put together helpful articles to guide you on how to enter your submission
For many people, game shooting is more than just a great day out in the field. It has a significant impact on land management, biodiversity, local communities, rural businesses and the economy
If you have seen these benefits through your own involvement, now is the time to make your voice heard
Submit your evidence to Defra before the 1st November
