Nature of Farming Award

Curlew profile

We've joined forces with BBC Countryfile Magazine, Plantlife and Butterfly Conservation to look for the top farms for wildlife from across the UK. Now in its second year, the Nature of Farming Award celebrates the efforts of farmers providing for wildlife. Why not vote for your favourite farm and help to decide the winner?

It takes particular dedication and care to run a farm that creates terrific wildlife habitat - and be economically viable. That’s why we're delighted to work with farmers who are making great efforts and who act as ambassadors for wildlife in the farming community.

Vote for your favourite!

The 2009 winners have been selected from each region and country across the UK. Each was put forward to an expert judging panel and a short-list of four has been drawn up to face a public vote to decide the UK winner.

The hardest part, choosing the winning farm, is down to you. You have until 28 August 2009 to tell us which farm you think deserves the Nature of Farming Award. You will be entered into a prize draw to win a selection of fabulous wildlife goodies. The results will be announced in mid-September.
