National Trust reveals ambitious plans to combat nature crisis
The National Trust has revealed ambitious plans to combat the nature crisis and inspire millions more to help protect the environment and cultural heritage...
To further their mission, the charity plans to fundraise more in the next decade than it has in its entire previous century of existence...
Director-general Hilary McGrady said: "For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale.
"Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring. So we will ramp up our work to restore nature, both on our own land and beyond our boundaries.
In case you thought there might be one or two causes missing from these ambitious plans, mental health is in there too. For some reason this isn't surprising.
The trust is co-producing a new natural history series, Hamza's Hidden Wild Isles, with The Open University for BBC One and iPlayer.
The series will feature wildlife cameraman Hamza as he unveils hidden wildlife gems across the UK.
The charity hopes the series will inspire people to take action and provide some relief from the current mental health crisis.

We are both life members of the National Trust for Scotland - an entirely separate outfit - but have lived in England for many years and enjoyed lots of NT properties. There was a time when, we agreed, we'd leave the NT a little money in our wills. That time has long passed because of our disgust at the politicisation of the NT. The last straw was their decision to ban deer hunting on their land on Exmoor even though the original deal with the chap who gifted the land to them was that the deer hunting be allowed to continue unabated.
To break a contract is to be a crook so we'll leave them nothing. Which, alas and alack, means that we won't leave any money to any national charity since they all seem to have become crooks. Local charity - maybe; national charity - no.
"Hamza's Hidden Wild Isles"
Hamza? Hamza who? Haven't we heard of him before, somewhere?
