The Rothbury Estate is secured. You did it.

Thanks to more than 25,000 supporters, Northumberland Wildlife Trust and The Wildlife Trusts have completed the purchase of The Rothbury Estate.

People from across the UK and more than 50 countries came together to make this once-in-a-generation opportunity a reality.

Together, you have secured this extraordinary Northumberland landscape for nature, people and generations to come. 

Now an exciting new chapter, and the real work begins

Securing The Rothbury Estate was an extraordinary achievement. But it was always just the start.  

Now we can get to work restoring nature across 9,500 acres of moorland, woodland, rivers, grasslands and farmland, working alongside the people who live and work here. 

With your continued support, we can restore habitats, help wildlife recover and create a healthier, more resilient landscape.

Your gift will support nature’s recovery across The Rothbury Estate, helping create a place where nature and communities can thrive side by side.
