Project Supporters and Funders

  • The farmers who have waived compensation for disturbance to agricultural activities throughout the lifetime of the project
  • The dedicated Community Wildife Group volunteers who give up their time once a month in the spring to carry out adult wader surveys which help inform the project
  • The artists inspired by our work to help by donating to or creating for the project
  • The Project Advisory Group who have given up time to come to meetings and help with essential technical advice1

FUNDING SUPPORT

The project has developed substantially, from the profile that was intended when the Landscape Partnership Scheme was set up.  The new project requires a great deal more funding than the original amount allocated to it.  We are very grateful to the following contributors who have helped fund the Curlew Country Project:
