Creating a living and working countryside
About the Countryside Restoration Trust
The Countryside Restoration Trust is a farming and conservation charity which aims to protect and restore Britain's countryside with wildlife-friendly and sustainable agriculture. The Trust is committed to promoting the importance of a living and working countryside through education, demonstration and community involvement.
The Trust is establishing a network of demonstration farms across Britain which, using sensitive farming methods, will show how to protect wildlife, produce quality food and preserve our countryside for future generations.
In this time of crisis within agriculture, the work of the CRT is vital to help revitalise the countryside and restore its wildlife.
The CRT now has approximately 3,000 Friends and manages over 1,200 acres of land with properties in Cambridgeshire, Essex, Herefordshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Surrey, Sussex and Yorkshire.
