A series of surveys to gauge the success of a project to help boost water vole numbers in north Wales will be held this Summer.

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) has warned that the removal of sporting rates relief will have devastating consequences for rural Scotland and will damage rural livelihoods, conservation, jobs and tourism. BASC has published evidence revealing the far-reaching and negative unintended consequences the plans will have for Scotland.
Scotland’s largest shooting organisation has warned of the consequences of the Air Weapons and Licensing Scotland Bill.
Commenting on BASC’s support for the tabling of a second report by former members of the Lead Ammunition Group (LAG) , BASC chairman Alan Jarrett said: “BASC has always insisted that the LAG process should be coherent, consistent, clear and unbiased. BASC’s policy on lead ammunition is totemic: No sound evidence, no change.
The publication of the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill confirms the Scottish Government’s intention to reintroduce non-domestic rates for shoots in Scotland.
Visitors to the Royal Welsh Show will have a chance to use BASC’s ST-2 Shooting Simulator – the most realistic on the market. Beginners can use the simulator to try shotgun shooting and more experienced people can use it to improve their shooting.

The gun will be made-to-measure by Shropshire-based Boxall & Edmiston to your requirements to a total value of £30,000.
