Topography

On the Lincoln Heath, the shoot is on arable farming country with with hedges, narrow belts of trees & some larger wooded areas.

Conservation Efforts

Yes. Conservation is built into how the land is farmed and keepered. We take part in the annual farmland bird count, which tracks species numbers year on year and shows the habitat is working. We've put up owl and raptor nest boxes across the estate to support barn owls and kestrels. And a good part of the ground is entered into government Countryside Stewardship schemes - wild bird seed mixes, field margins, hedgerow and habitat management - which provide year-round food and cover not just for gamebirds but for songbirds, pollinators and other wildlife. The shoot and the wider ecosystem benefit from the same measures.

About the hosts

Hosted by the owners of the estate, they are well accustomed to hosting shooting parties. The atmosphere is fun, supported by a gun bus which all the guns travel around in.
