What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Northumberland Wildlife Trust completed the purchase of the Rothbury Estate, a 9,500-acre former grouse moor, for £30 million following a public fundraising appeal. The organization plans to transform the land into a nature recovery project, including a 40-mile wildlife corridor. Local farmers have strongly opposed the conservation plans, with one tenant farmer calling the campaign a "folly".
