Do you care about conservation, wildlife, game, farming or fishing? If so, have you thought about becoming a member of Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust.
Foxy Pheasant Ltd are trade members of the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust and actively support their local Welsh Team.
“In joining GWCT as a trade member means Foxy Pheasant is supporting the work of a leading scientific conservation research organisation. We take great satisfaction knowing we are helping our British countryside thrive, both for now and future generations. I grew up on a farm in East Shropshire where the principles of the GWCT’s habitat management, supplementary feeding and predator control had been in place since the 1950’s. I have first hand experience of working with the GWCT’s principles and visions . This first hand experience of actively managing our countryside through wise use has made me a very keen ambassador of the organisation and its work. I urge you to visit their website, take part in their events, get involved with local committee fundraising and look at their membership packages.
