KENT WILDFOWLING AND CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION/CHICHESTER WILDFOWLERS ASSOCIATION PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE KENT WILDFOWLERS AND CHICHESTER WILDFOWLERS COMBINE TO BUY MORE MARSHLAND The Kent Wildfowling and Conservation Association and the Chichester Wildfowlers Association first joined together to purchase marshland in East Sussex in 2005, further adding to that portfolio in 2008. Now these two far-sighted clubs have come together again to extend their joint land ownership in East Sussex. KWCA Chairman Alan Jarrett said “I am delighted that once again we have come together with Chichester WA to cement our long-standing beneficial partnership with Chichester WA by purchasing additional land in East Sussex. Chichester are an excellent club to work with, and with this purchase we further strengthen our land holdings to secure wildfowling into the future. CWA Chairman Lee Freeston said I am delighted that both clubs have again jointly purchased land for shooting and conservation to further strengthen the bonds between the two clubs. This also protects shooting in perpetuity for all wildfowlers. ENDS EDITOR’S NOTE: the KWCA and CWA jointly have a land portfolio of over 23,000 acres across Kent, West Sussex, Hampshire East Sussex, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. Conservation work is being carried out over many of these areas by the Wild Spaces Fund. The two clubs have a joint membership of over 900 members, and offer wildfowling, rough shooting, pigeon shooting and airgun hunting.
