Green shoots mapping
The Green Shoots Mapping and bag recording website has been created by BASC to provide both an excellent online mapping, wildlife recording and shooting diary and a simple way to enable members to assist us to protect and promote shooting and conservation.
Using Green Shoots Mapping helps provide evidence to show government, the media and the public that shooting makes a huge contribution to conservation and a healthy environment because we use that information to:
- Identify, plan and promote conservation projects that enhance shooting and conservation and contribute to local, national and international conservation goals.
- Support BASC’s work for shooting sports and species and habitat conservation.
- Demonstrate that shooting is a positive force for conservation and is sustainable.
