Derbyshire Swift Conservation

Derbyshire Swift Conservation was formed in response to the massive decline of this iconic bird across Derbyshire and the UK as a whole. There is evidence to suggest that loss of nest sites is a major factor driving the loss of our breeding Swifts and we are working to address this in two ways. Firstly, to identify the location of existing nest sites and then ensure they are protected. Secondly, to supplement natural sites with artificial nest sites in the form of Swift bricks or boxes, to reverse the loss of safe and secure nest sites for our Swifts on both existing and new buildings.

The Flow Country Partnership

The Flow Country Partnership (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, No. SC053100) unites crofters, farmers, landowners, local businesses, ecologists, and government bodies to strengthen the resilience of the Flow Country and its people. Located in the far north of Scotland across Caithness and Sutherland, this vast blanket bog system not only boasts incredible biodiversity, including rare flora and fauna, but also plays a crucial role in climate change mitigation. In July 2024, The Flow Country achieved the prestigious status of the world’s first peatland World Heritage Site. From its expansive landscapes, characterised by a rich tapestry of peat and pools, to its role as a natural carbon sink, this unique environment serves as both an ecological treasure and a source of global inspiration.
