Farmland wildlife recovery appeal

We don’t just talk a good story -  we roll our sleeves up and use our scientific research to lead by example. 

• Our farm production levels at  The Allerton Project in Loddington, Leciestershire are consistently above average but we also leave food and space for wildlife. 
• Over the last 10 years the farm has reversed a 30-year decline in the nine key farmland bird indicator species used to demonstrate a balanced, thriving countryside – a very real testament to the efficiency of the Trust’s unique conservation techniques.

All this early work helped slow the national decline in wildlife.  However it is still falling.  Scientists at the farm, who understand the pressure farmers are under to produce more food for us, know that modern farming pressures will increase the decline further.  They are refusing to give up.  They know their work is now more vital than ever to halt the decline. 

How can you help? 

We urgently need funds to complete this critical research and ensure that the best possible practice message is spread to all farms at every opportunity.

Your help is vital so please support this appeal today. Together we can stop Britain’s wildlife declining. 
Thank you.
