Starting tomorrow we’ll be posting Blogs from two experienced individuals who until very recently were working as gamekeepers on estates in the UK. Both have interesting things to say about how estates are run and their attitudes to wildlife crime and the countryside in general. One individual has changed their view of estate management since ceasing their role in gamekeeping the other has not. Whilst we have done some limited editing we have not excluded any material points or altered their views in any way.

We think that what they have to say is important and needs to be understood and addressed if we, as a nation, have any serious intention of tackling the scourge of wildlife crime and protecting our natural heritage and environment for the future enjoyment of all.
