Male yellow wagtail singing

Project objectives

• By creating the zone, a large area of wildlife friendly habitat will have been formed that will effect population increase and spread of, in particular, six range restricted farmland bird species

Key dates so far

• Nature-friendly farmers managing 3,782 hectares of surrounding farmed land have come together in this project to save farmland birds and other wildlife.

Work planned or underway

Land management options for farmland birds within the UK Government Environmental Stewardship Schemes are being used resulting in each farm being managed for the year round benefit of birds and other wildlife.
