🌿 Sir David Attenborough’s call to action! 🌿
Our beloved national treasure, Sir David Attenborough, is reaching out with urgency to save a truly unique spot in Northumberland—the Rothbury Estate. Home to a diverse range of wildlife, this beautiful expanse of moorland, rivers, and forests is at a critical crossroads.
The mission? Raise £30 million by next year. So far, a commendable £8 million has come in from donations large and small. But with the clock ticking, the need is dire to secure the entire 9,500-acre estate—a natural gem that’s the size of Athens!
Imagine roaming through the Simonside Hills, listening to curlews call, spotting shy red squirrels, and exploring ancient rock carvings left by our ancestors. The Wildlife Trusts aim to transform this land with local farmers, breathing new life into its wild habitats.
The Rothbury Estate isn’t just land; it’s a cornerstone of a 40-mile nature corridor stretching from the north-east coast of England to the Scottish border. With bold plans to integrate farming, tourism, and education, it’s poised to make a major impact on UK nature restoration goals.
Help preserve this heart-shaped haven that could flourish into a sanctuary for curlews, pine martens, beavers, and golden eagles. Together, we can ensure the Rothbury Estate thrives, securing its future for generations to come. 💚
Every contribution counts. Let’s unite for nature and make Sir David’s vision a reality!
