What We Do Our countryside is in a state of crisis. Many farmland wildlife species are endangered and continue to decline, smaller farms are struggling to compete and people have grown out of touch with the landscape and how food is produced. But there is hope, as many farmers and landowners, policymakers and the public are recognising the role we all need to play in turning things around. The CRT promotes nature-friendly farming to help reverse the biodiversity decline and combat climate change. We believe nature is integral to good farming and we protect, promote and regenerate our land and all life on it. We put our philosophy into practice on over 2,000 acres of working farms, small-holdings and woodland across England. We work in collaboration with tenant farmers to enable them to use nature-friendly farming methods on our land. Our staff support them with guidance and resources and CRT volunteers help to improve wildlife habitats by carrying out conservation projects. We monitor the wildlife on our properties to help us understand how our work is impacting key species and the wider environment. We also educate people about nature-friendly farming and how healthy ecosystems support food production and our health and wellbeing.
