With over 75% of the UK land area being farmed, farming has a huge impact on all our lives and on the wildlife that calls farmland its home. RSPB works closely with farmers all over the UK, and with those that represent them. In this blog Stuart Housden, Director of RSPB Scotland, discusses a reason meeting between RSPB Scotland and the National Farmers Union Scotland (NFUS).
Rather than me tell you about it, why not read it for yourselves here. But it a great example of RSPB meeting with the farming community, showing understanding and empathy of many of the problems that affect farming but also continuing to seek solutions that will allow wildlife to flourish on farmland across the UK, and in Scotland in particular in this case.
