Hundreds of acres of wood pasture habitat are being created in a scheme to boost native songbirds and other wildlife alongside farming.

The National Trust is supporting some of its tenant farmers across Purbeck in Dorset to use funding from the Government’s nature-friendly farming programme to establish 380 hectares (940 acres) of wildlife-rich habitat.

The farmers are planting 60,000 trees and shrubs over the next six years to create wood pasture that provides important nesting, roosting and foraging sites for birds such as yellowhammer, linnet and goldfinches, as well as rare turtle doves and nightingales.
