[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7555574, member: 166"] The farm I ran until last summer had a grey partridge recovery project, with the aim of boosting many species, not just greys. The owner shot 80 brace last September which was part of his enjoyment for investing heavily in this. Many people don't understand why owners shoot but the reality is that much of the conservation work is led by shooting & the yields are so low that biodiversity still has a massive net gain. What are your aims for this? I can't see anyone wanting to fund a shoot... On a more practical level, the GWCT has a lot of knowledge & a trip to Loddington would be essential if you haven't done this already. Farmer clusters are a great way to get landscape level participation in conservation work. I was part of the Martin Down cluster.
