Background

The Rothbury Estate is one of the most important opportunities in decades to restore nature on a landscape scale. By helping The Wildlife Trusts secure this land, Government can protect vital habitats for species like curlew, red squirrel and otter, support local communities, and leave a lasting legacy for nature, people and climate.
