A nature organisation has marked its half-century – by unveiling its 50th nature reserve.
Durham Wildlife Trust launched its ‘50@50’ campaign two years ago – aiming to grow its number of nature reserves from 42 to 50 by the end of its 50th anniversary year. And its latest acquisition, a 300-acre site in Teesdale, which will be known as Cuthbert’s Moor, means that the Trust can celebrate the success of its campaign.
The 50@50 initiative is part of The Wildlife Trusts’ national objective to protect 30% of land and sea for wildlife by 2030 to combat the decline of biodiversity in the UK.
