About Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust

The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) is a leading charity dedicated to the conservation of game and wildlife in the UK. Established in 1931, the trust has been at the forefront of research and education aimed at promoting sustainable land management practices that benefit both wildlife and people.

Our core activities include:

• Research: Conducting scientific studies to understand the ecology of game species and their habitats.
• Education: Providing training and resources for land managers, farmers, and the public to foster a greater understanding of wildlife conservation.
• Advocacy: Working with policymakers to influence legislation that supports biodiversity and sustainable practices.
• Community Engagement: Involving local communities in conservation efforts through outreach programs and volunteer opportunities.

At GWCT, we believe in the importance of balancing the needs of wildlife with those of rural communities. Our vision is to create a future where game and wildlife thrive alongside sustainable land use. We collaborate with various stakeholders, including landowners, farmers, and conservationists, to implement effective conservation strategies.

Through our innovative projects and initiatives, we aim to enhance habitats, increase biodiversity, and promote responsible shooting practices. Our commitment to science-based conservation ensures that our efforts are grounded in the latest research and best practices.

Join us in our mission to protect the UK’s natural heritage and ensure that future generations can enjoy the rich diversity of wildlife that our countryside has to offer.
