Benedict Macdonald is the author of Rebirding and founder and director of Restore. He is working with Charles Whitbread’s Southill Estate in Bedfordshire, which combines a mix of grey partridge shooting and arable. Benedict and Southill gamekeeper Paul Dunn explain how ‘restoring’ nature and shooting can work together, including restoring wetlands and reintroducing beavers. They talk to Charlie Jacoby at the Carter Jonas Game Fair Theatre in July 2025.
