GWCT Stand - Fresh Look and Theme for 2012

2012 Theme "The Game Plan"

The 2012 Central Exhibit, generously sponsored by Artemis Investment Management Limited, will showcase management requirements for wild grey partridges in the Scottish lowlands and on the hill fringe. Fair visitors will be able to walk through an imaginary section of the countryside, viewing the key aspects of nesting, brood-rearing and winter holding cover along with all important predation control techniques. A comprehensive range of taxidermy will be on display, depicting the many mammal and bird species that share the farm environment with grey partridges and benefit from sympathetic management.

Live partridges will be present, forming the focus for the Trust's advice on re-stocking programmes.
Additionally, our exhibit will provide a practical demonstration on best practice release techniques for reared pheasants. A small release pen will contain live pheasants. 

Separate exhibits will include our popular displays on Game and Conservation Crops (sponsored by Watson Seeds) and Gamebird Feeding techniques.
