It's Asian Hornet Week

Asian hornets pose a serious threat to our native pollinators and biodiversity. We encourage everyone spending time in the countryside to know what to look for and report any suspected sightings.

If you spot an Asian hornet or nest, don’t approach or disturb it. Take a photo if it’s safe to do so and report your sighting: https://www.nonnativespecies.org/about/news/yellow-legged-hornet

This is fantastic news 👏, but the fight for the future of shooting continues... please prepare yourself to respond to DEFRA's consultation on gamebird release. We will be sharing guidance shortly.

"The people who want to see shooting shut down will be mobilising right now – we must do better than them, voice for voice, fact for fact.” Ian Bell, BASC chief executive.

BASC is urging the shooting community to fight for its future by responding to a call for evidence on gamebird rearing, releasing and shooting in England, announced by the government today.

Happy

Today we celebrate the working dogs that are such an important part of our countryside traditions.

From gundogs working in the field to dogs helping with pest control, their intelligence and dedication make them invaluable partners.

Here’s to the four-legged friends who never fail to do their bit!
