Remember FWAG in your Will

Making a Will is an important and tax efficient way to ensure your loved ones have a secure future.  Leaving FWAG a gift in your Will is an excellent way to ensure the world they live in and the countryside has a long and lasting future too. 

Your Will could help us protect and create the habitats that are so necessary for the survival of our cherished wildlife and natural fauna, for many, many generations to come.

More than 80% of the UK land area is countryside. Some wild areas remain, but most is managed for agriculture, recreation, or nature conservation. Other large areas are located around historic and protected sites or are used for defence purposes. Agriculture is by far the greatest land use and is a crucial part of our heritage and our future.

Some 60% of the food we consume is still produced in the UK. Recently, however, financial support for farmers has seen as shift from production-based subsidies to agri-environmental support.

FWAG can help us all re-connect with the countryside to make the links between high quality food and a high quality rural landscape and to enable all those with a passion for the countryside to work together to ensure that we make the right choices for the health of the countryside now and in the future.

“With the help of FWAG’s expertise, rare species
such as lapwings are now breeding and we’ve had
success with wild barn owls which are now a
common sight on my farmland.”  Colin Appleton, East Sussex

FWAG – an independent registered charity – assists the people who manage the countryside by providing environmental management expertise coupled with the understanding of the farming business, so that food produced in the UK, our countryside and the native wildlife as we know if can be improved and protected for future generations to enjoy.

Since implementing FWAG’s blueprint for conservation, the population of brown hares, barn owls, verwintering
waders and other welcome wildlife has definitely increased on my farm.” Tim Piper, Kent.
