Shoots are facing ruin and keepers out of jobs
Shooting Times & Country
|July 19, 2023
The impact on rural livelihoods and rural life, following the recent general licence fiasco, is starting to be felt but BASC is fighting back
Hundreds of shoots face financial ruin and gamekeeper redundancies are stacking up following the change to general licence 43 (GL43) in late May. Introduced in 2021 following a legal challenge from Wild Justice, GL43 allowed the release of gamebirds on or near European protected sites. But under the new rules, shoots must apply to Natural England for an individual licence to release on or within 500m of a Special Protected Area (SPA).
