The Nature of Farming Award is a partnership between the RSPB, Butterfly Conservation and Plantlife which recognises and celebrates the good work done by many (but not all!) UK farmers for nature on their farms.
Past winners have had a Celtic flavour: 2008, Peter Davies, Wales; 2009, Michael Calvert, Northern Ireland and 2010, John and James Davison, Northern Ireland.
Our new media partner is Telegraph newspapers - and we welcome them as we thank Countryfile for their past partnership.
A love of the natural world demonstrates that a person is a cultured inhabitant of planet Earth.
redkite - indeed!
