Our cause

To protect puffins as much as we can, amid fears that climate change is affecting their sources of food and numbers, we've changed the five-yearly Farne Islands census to an annual count. The good news is that after the 2018 count, rangers found more than 43,000 puffin pairs on the Farne Islands, an increase of nine per cent since 2013.

Whether it's the place you fell in love, somewhere to escape from the bustle of everyday life, or to get closer to nature, we all make special connections with different places. These are the places that make us who we are. For Audrey, it's Crom in Northern Ireland that has become her family's favourite place. Explore her story and others.

With close to one million objects at over 200 historic places, we care for one of the world's largest art and heritage collections. Discover a wealth of treasures around every corner and experience the stories behind every object.

Shockingly, 97 per cent of our meadows are disappearing. Help us restore 1,000 hectares of wildflower meadows and protect species like the large blue butterfly, the turtledove and the great yellow bumblebee before it's too late.

As the UK government writes a new environment bill, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect and restore the countryside we love.
