Thousands visit BASC website to help challenge ban on shooting in Wales
More than 8,000 people have visited a dedicated webpage set up by BASC to help challenge a ban on shooting imposed by Natural Resources Wales (NRW).
The page (https://basc.org.uk/nrw/) was published following the decision by NRW to ban pheasant shooting on all public land following intervention from environment minister Hannah Blythyn AM.
More than 2,700 people have visited a page which allows them to email the office of the environment minister direct and more than 2,500 people have visited a page which allows them to email their Assembly Member.
Almost 700 people have visited a page which allows them to email NRW direct and a page hosting an open letter by BASC Council member Ian Coghill to Hannah Blythyn has been visited more than 2,600 times (https://basc.org.uk/blog/nrw/an-open-letter-to-hannah-blythyn/).
BASC Wales director Steve Griffiths said: "These figures are fantastic. We are delighted that people have let Hannah Blythyn, Natural Resources Wales and Assembly Members know the strength of feeling on this issue.
"If you have taken the time to visit our site and lobby your AM, Hannah Blythyn or NRW then thank you. If you haven't yet done so, please put aside a couple of minutes of your time to do so.
"There is still work to be done and people need to continue getting the message across that shooting must be protected."
