Any cuts would be catastrophic

We are approaching a pivotal moment for nature and farming. The UK Government is considering how to balance budgets ahead of its Comprehensive Spending Review in June. The farming budget – the biggest pot of funding for nature – is in the firing line. But any cut now would be a disaster for nature and farming.

Much of the UK’s wildlife is in decline, with farmland birds particularly badly hit. Once familiar species such as Turtle Doves, Skylarks and Yellowhammers have seen populations fall in recent years. With 70% of the UK farmed, working with farmers is the best chance we have of seeing our wildlife numbers recover and then soar. 

We’re taking the petition to the Government

On Tuesday 20th May 2025, we handed the petition to Downing Street. We took your voices straight to the heart of Government to say loud and clear: protect and increase investment in nature-friendly farming.

It’s vital that the Government's upcoming Spending Review does not see the nature-friendly farming budget slashed. Right now, nature needs more support not less.

Nature is counting on Rachel Reeves and the UK Government. If the nature-friendly farming budget is cut, we don’t just lose funding. We lose birdsong in our fields, bees in our hedgerows' and farmers who care for nature will be forced out by a system that no longer supports them. Cuts risk more polluted rivers, degraded soil, fewer wildlife habitats, and increased flood risks for communities.

Nature-friendly farming is not a luxury — it’s essential for a healthy, secure future for all.
