Tell your MP: protect nature’s biggest funding pot!

Cutting the nature-friendly farming budget puts nature at risk — and threatens the future we all depend on.

There are serious warnings that the UK Government might slash nature’s biggest funding pot - the farming budget - in their upcoming spending review.  

This funding is vital to help grow a brighter future for all of us 

With over 67% of land in England farmed, supporting those who farm for nature is not optional — it’s critical.   

This funding helps farmers: 

  • Bring back birds, butterflies, and bees 

  • Restore hedgerows and wildflower meadows 

  • Clean up rivers and improve soil 

  • Store carbon and tackle climate change 

One in six species in Great Britain is at risk of extinction. Cutting this support could push more to the brink.
