Countryside Alliance - love the countryside

We are the only organisation to actively champion country life and defend the liberties of the people who live and work there. Our vision is of a vital, working and thriving countryside that benefits everyone. We support tradition, but are progressive in our outlook. As the authority on rural issues, we understand what matters, from the Yorkshire Dales to the moors of the West Country. The Countryside Alliance can be counted on to challenge, campaign and lobby with a passion. It’s our countryside and the Countryside Alliance will fight to protect it for the nation. Our track record proves that.

The Countryside Alliance Foundation is our charitable arm, set up to build on the element of Alliance work that has always been inherently charitable. This includes educating the public about the countryside and helping to protect the natural environment. By introducing adults and children alike to the dramatic realities of rural Britain, we hope to inspire them to find out more and become passionate enough to share our aims and values.

The Alliance is a membership organisation with over 100,000 members. The Countryside Alliance was formed on 10 July 1997 from three organisations: the British Field Sports Society, the Countryside Business Group and the Countryside Movement. The Alliance is politically non-aligned and acts in partnership and cooperation with many other rural groups including BASC, The CLA, FUW, GCT and NFU.

The Alliance distributes a free weekly e-bulletin called the grass e-route. The grass e-route is open to all members and supporters and brings all the Alliance's latest news, views, events and plans straight to your inbox. Sign up for the grass e-route by clicking here.
