RSPB: Together we can save our countryside

Our supporters help us make a difference Hello We've had a terrific response to our recent farmland appeal - it really shows how passionate people are about the countryside, and their support for wildlife-friendly farmers. Changes to farming techniques over the last 40 years, driven by EU policy, have had a devastating impact on nature. Numbers of birds like turtle doves, lapwings and skylarks have declined by over 50 per cent since the 1970s. But now, more and more farmers are asking for our help to help wildlife on their farms. We're working together with farmers Thanks to donations from our members and supporters, we'll be able to do more in 24 specially-targeted areas where we know that farmers will be able to have a real impact on their local wildlife. Working together, we can help bring nature back to the UK's countryside. We've put together a short film which shows that there's already a lot to celebrate - I hope you enjoy watching it. If you'd like to help, there's still time. All donations - however small - will be very gratefully received. Thankyou! Nick Droy Head of RSPB Conservation Management Advice Help us help farmers
