Will Liddell talks to Jemma Batten about how a group of farmers on the Marlborough Downs started working together on wildlife conservation at landscape scale. The collaboration has been a great success and includes restoration of a network of dew ponds, connecting communities with pollinator friendly Bee Roadzz, restoring chalk grassland habitats and the construction of tree sparrow villages. The project has inspired many 'farm clusters' to forge similar partnerships to restore habitats at scale.
