Take part in BASC survey to protect shooting in Wales

BASC needs to collate valuable opinions from people who control ‘pest’ birds in Wales. This will form part of the evidence that BASC will submit to Natural Resources Wales to ensure any future system around general licences remains fit for purpose.

NRW has announced that it is currently reviewing the evidence that support the operation of its existing general licences. This may result to changes in the way some licences are issued.

We have created a short survey for anyone who shoots in Wales. All responses will remain anonymous and the survey shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to complete. The survey, which can be submitted in both English and Welsh, will run until 5pm on Wednesday 24th July.

BASC Wales Director Steve Griffiths said: “It is essential that anyone who uses the general licences in Wales completes this survey.

“NRW have taken steps to ensure the licensing system is fit for purpose and the evidence gathered through this survey will help inform their decision and create the bedrock of the next set of general licences.”
