Rural land management
The rural land development team ensures members have the opportunity of somewhere to shoot. We can give advice about the land you already shoot over or land that you are looking at to take over for shooting. And that is why you should join BASC today.
BASC recognises the complexity of issues related to the land that clubs, syndicates and members shoot over and aspire to shoot over via purchase and lease. BASC is therefore able to offer its members the services of an in-house rural land development manager who is a chartered surveyor (www.rics.org) and agricultural valuer (www.caav.org.uk).
