## Resource

Robbie and the team were recently in England to undertake a documentary around the heritage and story around wildfowling - the UK's version of duck hunting (but don't tell them thats what they do). The British Association Of Shooting And Conservation (BASC) does a ton of work on wildlife, conservation and, of course, shooting. Robbie catches up with two of their researchers in the wild fowling department while he stopped in to visit BASC headquarters. Sophie and Heather explain the scientific rigor and information gathered from the sport for conservation in the UK. Get to know the guest: https://basc.org.uk/ Do you have questions we can answer?
