Sir David Attenborough is championing a bid by conservationists to raise £30 million to secure a vast upland estate in Northumberland for nature and the nation.
The Wildlife Trusts and Northumberland Wildlife Trust are attempting to complete the purchase of the Rothbury Estate, a 15-square-mile tract of former grouse moor, woodland, farmland, streams and rivers, with plans to boost wildlife, restore bogs and champion nature-friendly farming.
