https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/largest-land-sale-in-30-years-a-showcase-for-nature-recovery
Nearly 10,000 acres of land in north-east UK is being bought by Wildlife Trusts.
Previously used for bloodsports and animal agriculture the new ownership of the Rothbury estate in Northumberland will ban hunting and practice regenerative farming only as they look to give nature the chance to thrive and become a flagship for habitat restoration.
Already living on the land are curlew, red grouse, merlin, cuckoo, mountain bumblebee, emperor moth and red squirrels.
Chief Executive of The Wildlife Trusts, Craig Bennett said, “This is a thrilling moment for The Wildlife Trusts who are working collectively – coming together from across the UK – to create a national flagship for nature recovery for the very first time.”
