Welcome

For centuries, gamekeepers, stalkers and river keepers have been the unsung guardians of the British countryside...but do you know what they do to help sustain our countryside?

Did you know?...
Forty-nine out of fifty people have never met a gamekeeper

The National Gamekeepers' Organisation Charitable Trust has been set up to shed light on the role of Britain's gamekeepers, and to ensure quality in the way the whole countryside is managed - for everyone's benefit

Did you know?...
Nine times as much of the British countryside is looked after by gamekeepers as is in nature reserves and National Parks
