Four seasons
Four seasons
BASC’s Four Seasons campaign celebrates the environmental good brought about by shooting. It aims to showcase BASC members working to the highest standard, and to collect and share evidence of the overall benefits society receives from shooting.
Look out for stories being released on a seasonal basis, in line with what you are doing throughout the year. We will cover off shooting-related activities themed around all four seasons, and have three simple objectives: Â
- celebrate what shooting does for people and the environment
- educate / encourage shooters to maximise the benefits
- collect / share data where appropriate to improve advocacy
Support the campaign
Through the Four Seasons campaign, we hope to give you insightful advice and guidance, allowing you to be confident that you’re making the best possible gains for the environment.
We also encourage you to gather and share evidence of these benefits, contributing to initiatives such as GWCT’s partridge count scheme or BASC’s duck nest monitoring project.
Wherever you encounter the Four Seasons campaign over the next year, you’ll be aware it is part of the drive to ensure shooting is maximising its value for the environment. We aim to demonstrate this, with hard evidence wherever possible, to decision-makers as well as the general public.
We’d love you to engage with the campaign, talk about it with those who already share your passion and with others who are not involved in shooting.
Together, we can tell our story to help people really understand what shooting brings to the environment.
