GAME & WILDLIFE CONSERVATION TRUST

- The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (formerly The Game Conservancy Trust) is an independent wildlife conservation charity which carries out scientific research into Britain’s game and wildlife.

- We advise farmers and land managers on improving wildlife habitats and we lobby for agricultural and conservation policies based on science.

- We employ 17 post-doctoral scientists and 50 other research staff with expertise in areas such as ornithology, entomology, biometrics, mammalogy and agronomics.

- We undertake our own research as well as projects funded by contract and grant-aid from Government and private bodies.

- We spend £2.9 million annually on our charitable objects.

- The Trust is also responsible for a number of Government Biodiversity Action Plan species and is lead partner for grey partridge and joint lead partner for brown hare and black grouse.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION RELATES TO THE 2009 SCOTTISH GAME FAIR.  THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED SPRING 2010. 

2009 Theme "Moorland Magic" 

The 2009 Central Exhibit, sponsored by Artemis Investment Management Limited, will reflect the benefits of legal predator control in enhancing and maintaining thriving biodiversity on Scotland's moorland and hill fringe.  Fair visitors will be able to walk through an imaginary section of countryside, viewing all available legal predation control techniques.  There will be interpretation boards that highlight the impact of predators on game and wildlife species, along with details of GWCT's persuasive results of our Upland Predation Experiment.  Separate exhibits will include our popular displays on Game and Conservation Crops (sponosored by John Watson Seeds) and Gamebird Feeding techniques.

The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust has welcomed thousands of visitors to learn more about our work . One of the main objectives of the Fair is to inform and educate. Through our appealing displays we communicate our practical conservation message.
