People Around the World Help Buy Royal Estate for Wildlife Conservation

The Wildlife Trusts and Northumberland Wildlife Trust completed the £30 million purchase of the 9,500-acre Rothbury Estate in Northumberland on October 30, 2026, the largest fundraising appeal in the movement's history. About 25,000 members of the public gave more than £17 million, alongside a £5 million National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, and the land will be managed for nature and sustainable farming.
