Kent County Council - shooting and conservation

[Conor O'Gorman]

Godmersham Park Estate recently met Kent County Council’s Making Space for Nature team to demonstrate how shooting and conservation go hand in hand. Now, the conservation work being carried out on this shoot is set to become a case study for the county’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

How a Kent shooting estate is 'making space for nature'

Conservation work being carried out on a Kent shoot is set to become a case study for the county's Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

As these local nature recovery strategies roll out across 48 areas of England we will hopefully see more examples of local councils acknowledging the contribution of shooting to conservation.

We might say YES. But will your local authority recognise and support your nature recovery efforts in managing deer and woodland habitats?

48 local nature recovery projects, led by local authorities, are being rolled out in every part of England. If you want to get involved search online for "LNRS" together with the name of your local authority. Once the projects go live next year we will be contacting BASC members about habitat and species management opportunities and possible funding streams.
