Award-winning farm sparks inspiration to save Island birds

The award-winning Kings Manor Farm on the Isle of Wight and a leading conservation charity; The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust are uniting to offer an inspiring workshop, which could offer renewed hope for some of our most threatened farmland birds.

Many once-common farmland bird populations on the island are now at their lowest level and some, such as corn buntings and wild grey partridges are even on the brink of extinction, However, this joint event being staged at Kings Manor Farm, Freshwater on 6th October, should offer a kick-start to the recovery of many once familiar farmland birds on the Isle of Wight.

This free event is open to farmers and all those with an interest in boosting wildlife on the Isle of Wight, particularly grey partridges and other farmland birds.
