Fédération des Chasseurs de la Somme

What Fédération des Chasseurs de la Somme does

The Fédération des Chasseurs de la Somme is a French non-profit association (Association loi 1901, registered as 780 593 562) operating as the sole departmental hunting federation for the Somme department (80), under the national Fédération Nationale des Chasseurs (FNC) network and the Fédération Régionale des Chasseurs des Hauts de France. Its statutory mission is to participate in wildlife species and habitat management, and to represent hunters before public administrations including the Office Français de la Biodiversité (OFB) and the Direction Départementale des Territoires et de la Mer (DDTM). The federation is headquartered at 1 chemin de la voie du bois in Lamotte-Brebiere and operates with a 9-person staff under Director Emmanuel LAVOISIER.

Core services are built around a small digital portfolio: an online permit validation service connecting to the national OFB platform, the Espace Adhérent member portal (hosted on Retriever-EA infrastructure) for game attribution requests and personal account management, the Bourse aux Territoires online marketplace connecting hunters with landowners, and a classifieds section for hunting equipment. Training programs include secourisme canin (canine first aid), decennial safety training, and Simul'tir Oise shooting simulator workshops. The federation publishes annual technical reports on wildlife populations (pheasant counts, hare and fox IKA indices, corvid highway counts, small game spring counts) and operates the Maison de la Nature educational facility in Lamotte-Brebiere, celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026.

The revenue model is a non-profit membership structure with primary revenues from membership fees, hunting permit validation fees remitted via the national FNC/OFB system, and ancillary income from training programs and partner institutional support (Conseil Général de la Somme, Conseil Régional Hauts de France, Agence de l'Eau Artois-Picardie). The federation coordinates a network of more than 30 specialized hunting associations within the department and manages hunting territories that include the Baie de Somme wetlands. Customer segments are licensed individual hunters in the Somme department (primary) and affiliated specialized associations (secondary), with no commercial B2B or enterprise customer base.

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Deutscher Jagdverband (DJV): German national hunting association operating under a parallel statutory model in a different country; comparable in mission (hunter representation, wildlife management, training) but serving a different national jurisdiction and not a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Fédération Nationale des Chasseurs (FNC): National umbrella federation of which FDC80 is a member. FNC sets national policy, runs research programs (ChassAdapt, Label Gibiers de France), and represents all French hunters, making it the apex structural peer of this departmental federation.
• Fédération Régionale des Chasseurs des Hauts-de-France: Regional body co-located with FDC80 headquarters that coordinates cross-departmental initiatives including the Hirondelles des Hauts-de-France survey and biosecurity measures, sitting one tier above FDC80 in the federation hierarchy.

Others

• Office Français de la Biodiversité (OFB): Government regulator and operational counterpart of FDC80, jointly administering the SAGIR mortality monitoring network, hunting permits, and enforcement actions; not a competitor but a tightly coupled stakeholder peer.
• Fédération de la Pêche et de la Protection du Milieu Aquatique de la Somme: Sibling French departmental federation managing a different recreational user group (anglers) with the same Association loi 1901 statutory structure, same Somme department footprint, and overlapping wetland stewardship agenda.
• Fédération Française des Associations de Chasse aux Gibiers d'Eau et de leur Environnement (ANCGE): National association of waterfowl hunters affiliated with several Somme specialized associations (ACDPM); comparable in serving waterfowl hunters and managing wetland habitats, especially relevant given FDC80's Baie de Somme territory.

Direct peers

• Fédération des Chasseurs du Pas-de-Calais: Sibling departmental hunting federation in the adjacent Pas-de-Calais department, sharing the Hauts-de-France regional coordination structure and offering near-identical member services (permit validation, training, territory exchange).
• Fédération des Chasseurs de Seine-Maritime: Departmental federation in neighboring Seine-Maritime (Normandy region), sharing similar waterfowl hunting terrain along the English Channel coast and operating the same federation model under FNC.
• Fédération des Chasseurs de l'Oise: Departmental federation in neighboring Oise, also hosting Simul'tir Oise shooting-simulator events referenced by FDC80, with parallel member services and FNC affiliation.
• Fédération des Chasseurs du Nord: Another departmental federation in the Hauts-de-France region with the same statutory mandate, customer base (licensed hunters), and service portfolio as FDC80, making it a structurally identical peer.
