The webinar will focus on the 2026/27 season and cover:
- documentation/information we have received from Natural England (NE)
- progression of the BASC legal challenge (Judicial Review claim) against NE
- biosecurity, our best defence against the spread of avian influenza
You can register for the event using the form below. AÂ link to the meeting will be sent out ahead of time on 11 February to all registered participants.Â
To help you get the most out of the webinar, please send the following information to our evidence team here:
any correspondence from NE regarding your existing licence
any follow-up communication after an inspection by NE regarding compliance with an individual licence
Please also send us any general questions or areas of concern so we can focus on the issues most important to you. We will aim to discuss anonymised details of individual cases during the session to ensure you receive the best advice and guidance.
If you need further support on any aspect of game shooting or releasing on protected sites, you can find details of how to contact your regional team here.

General licence restrictions in Scotland could affect innocent land managers
A proposal to consider excluding the use of general licences over some areas of land in Scotland has been challenged by the UK’s largest shooting organisation, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC). BASC is concerned that this could penalise innocent land managers and affect their livelihoods.
