Every year, BASC provides tens of thousands of children with the opportunity to learn about the countryside, land management and the importance of shooting to rural life and conservation through a range of educational events across the country.
We work in partnership with schools, colleges, charities and other learning providers, as well as farmers, agricultural societies, land managers, moorland groups and emergency services to help young people develop an affinity with our countryside and those who manage it.
Here you will find all our latest news and updates on our work to help children and young people from all over the UK connect with shooting and rural life.
If you have an event you’d like to tell us about, get in touch by emailing us here or use #BASCtoSchool on social media.

We are talking to children about deer! 🦌
Followed by a tasting session of venison burgers!
Looking forward to a busy day! #BASCtoSchool
BASC recently attended the Countrytastic event at the Three Counties Showground, Worcestershire. Countrytastic is an educational show aimed at young families. This sold-out event saw over 5,000 children, parents, grandparents and guardians learn about the countryside.
BASC had an interactive display where families could learn about the local wildlife and habitats. We were able to explain how pest and predator control takes place and discuss how and why these are managed.
