Countryside Alliance - love the countryside

The Alliance is unique amongst rural organisations for the breadth of its campaigns. We believe that it is not possible to deal with rural issues individually. The countryside is complexed and interconnected - policies and legislation that impact on one area of rural life always have implications for the countryside as a whole.

Our campaigns are all driven by the principle that real rural communities are only sustainable if they are local and land-based. The long-term conservation of our landscape depends on its continuing productive use by its communities for economic, social and recreational purposes.

We campaign under four broad themes:

Food, environment and rural affairs

Angling

Hunting

Shooting

As well as running specialist campaigns such as game-to-eat and moorlands.
