We are delighted to announce a significant milestone for our BASC to School programme, having now engaged with 50,000 school children across the UK in 2024.
This achievement takes BASC’s total engagement since 2021 to an impressive 127,261 schoolchildren and young people. The landmark highlights the programme’s growing profile as an educational tool for shooting and conservation.
BASC to School aims to introduce school-age children to the principles of sustainable shooting, conservation and the importance of wildlife management.
Through a combination of educational workshops, hands-on experiences and interactive learning sessions, the scheme focuses on safe handling practices, ethical considerations, and the role of field sports in preserving the countryside.
“This milestone of reaching 50,000 young people this year is a testament to our commitment to educating the next generation about the crucial connection between sustainable shooting and conservation,” said BASC’s head of outreach and education, Curtis Mossop.
“We are dedicated to helping students develop a balanced understanding of how sustainable practices and wildlife management contribute to the protection of our natural environments.”
A unique feature of the BASC to School programme is its focus on aligning its content with school curriculum. This makes it a versatile tool for enhancing biology, environmental science, and outdoor education lessons.
The initiative also provides students with real-life insights from experienced practitioners by fostering relationships with local communities and shooting groups.
The milestone underscores BASC’s broader educational efforts, including the success of the Let’s Learn Moor (LLM) project. LLM immerses young people in the ecology and conservation of moorland habitats.
Together, these initiatives empower students with knowledge about sustainable land management and encourage them to become future stewards of the natural environment.
Curtis Mossop added: “BASC will be expanding our outreach in 2025 to university students. We remain committed to our mission of shaping the next generation and promoting the importance of conservation and the preservation of the UK’s rich biodiversity.”
Let’s Learn Moor 2021 is off and running, with day one seeing school children visiting the North York Moors, Nidderdale and the North Pennines.

We are pleased to announce that Let’s Learn Moor, the UK’s largest upland education event will take place again this summer.
