Welcome to the Westmorland Wildfowlers Association

Celebrating over 60 years of Shooting & Conservation on the River Kent Estuary


The Westmorland Wildfowlers Association was founded in March 1950 by a group of 30 conservation minded men of Westmorland who were keen to effectively manage the wildfowling practices on River Kent Estuary in the North East corner of Morecambe Bay in North West England.

Today the WWA has around 120 members actively involved in the sport of wildfowling, from juniors through to senior and honorary members, some with over 50 years of association with the WWA. The Association controls approximately 17 miles of foreshore and intertidal shooting inside the old County boundary of Westmorland for the benefit of the membership along with other associated sporting activities including game shooting and duck flighting.

Affiliated to WAGBI (Wildfowlers Association of Great Britain and Ireland) in 1952, later to become BASC (British Association for Shooting and Conservation) conservation plays an important role in the WWA who seek to promote a sustainable and responsible approach to the sport of wildfowling through the provision of sanctuary areas, habitat improvement, supplementary feed programs in hard weather, duck rearing and release programes with over 18,000 ducks released to date & provision of artificial wildfowl nest structures around the estuary.
