Conservation
At Schöffel Country, we are dedicated to supporting the sustainable management of the countryside for future generations. And our commitment extends beyond crafting high-quality countrywear. From fundraising initiatives to awareness campaigns, and storytelling content to meaningful partnerships, we are on a mission to do our bit – and some – for the landscapes, people and wildlife at the heart of our brand.
We are proud to partner with the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT), a leading UK charity, established in 1931, that conducts conservation science to enhance the British countryside for public benefit. In recent years, with the help of our customers, we have raised more than £55,000 for the GWCT, directly supporting a range of projects and initiatives. In 2025, we joined forces to launch the Schöffel Countryside Awards.
The Schöffel Countryside Awards, in partnership with the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, will shine a light on the finest examples of working conservation and progressive land management across the UK. Through them, we aim to celebrate people and projects that are going above and beyond in the British countryside.
