Every ten years the BTO and GWCT collaborate on a survey to estimate the UK’s breeding woodcock population. Watch this short video by the GWCT’s Olly Dean featuring our Head of Wetlands Research Chris Heward demonstrating what’s involved.

A new ‘Wildlife Plot’ agri-environment option, which promises to be one of the best yet for biodiversity, has been developed as part of the GWCT’s PARTRIDGE Project on the Rotherfield Estate in Hampshire. Containing more than 20 species and based on years of research across Europe into the ideal combination of plants to maximise biodiversity, the new option is now available to farmers through government-funded schemes.
