Thanks to generous support, including philanthropic loans, we have already purchased part of the Rothbury Estate, which includes the much-loved Simonside Hills.  

We must now acquire the whole Estate, to preserve its rich heritage for future generations and avoid the land being broken up into multiple ownerships, which would make access for the public more difficult.  

By securing the entire Estate and working with local farmers and communities, we will create a huge area for nature's recovery and put the Rothbury Estate at the heart of a 40-mile wildlife corridor across northern England. 

We only have one chance to secure the future of the Estate. We must act now, to create a connected landscape which supports some of the country’s rarest wildlife to thrive. 

All funds raised - including any funds raised over our target amount - will go towards nature’s recovery at the Rothbury Estate. 

In the event we don’t raise enough funds to purchase the entire Estate or we are unable to complete the purchase for any reason, funds raised will go towards nature's recovery in the Simonside Hills and surrounding areas.
