Gamekeeping & Wildlife Management Courses
Gamekeepers manage both upland and lowland areas for the benefit of reared or wild game (e.g. pheasant, partridge, grouse, duck and deer). They also control pests. Gamekeepers maintain and create woodlands, hedgerows, and ponds for quarry species, but these provide shelter for many other kinds of wildlife and help to ensure the diversity of our countryside. Approximately 5,000 gamekeepers manage around 7.3 million hectares of countryside in the United Kingdom.
