英国野生动物信托组织（The Wildlife Trusts）宣布已成功筹集3000万英镑，用于购买位于英格兰诺森伯兰郡的罗斯伯里庄园（Rothbury estate），旨在实施大规模的自然修复项目 1。在筹集的资金中，有1700万英镑来自公众捐款，此外还包括国家彩票遗产基金提供的500万英镑以及政府资助的194万英镑 1。此次收购得到了包括大卫·爱登堡在内的公众支持 1。
罗斯伯里庄园面积超过3800公顷（近15平方英里），是过去30多年来英格兰单一所有权出售的最大地块 1。该项目的长期目标是建立一条从德鲁里奇湾延伸至苏格兰-英格兰边境、长达40英里的自然走廊 1。与此同时，部分农民及诺森伯兰保守党成员盖伊·雷纳-汤普森对粮食生产和商业盈利能力提出了担忧 1。
The Wildlife Trusts have announced that they successfully raised £30 million to purchase the Rothbury estate in Northumberland, marking a significant step toward large-scale rewilding efforts in England 1. The funding drive secured £17 million from public donations, supplemented by grants including £5 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and £1.94 million from the government 1. High-profile supporters such as David Attenborough helped galvanize the campaign, which aims to acquire land spanning more than 3,800 hectares, equivalent to nearly 15 square miles 1.
This acquisition represents the largest single-ownership land plot to come up for sale in England in over three decades 1. With the property now purchased, conservationists intend to establish a 40-mile nature corridor stretching from Druridge Bay to the Scottish-English border 1. However, the project has faced opposition from some farmers and Guy Renner-Thompson of the Northumberland Conservatives, who have raised concerns regarding the impact on food production and local business profitability 1.
