James and David’s farm plays a central role in our Curlews in crisis conservation project, protecting one of NI’s priority species. Their dedication to wildlife and climate protection is a shining example of what can be achieved when we make space for nature on working farmland.
🌟We are so proud of the nature-friendly farmers we work with and today we want to say a huge well done and thank you to brothers, James and David Bonnar, who were named Nature Friendly Farming Network’s Nature-Friendly Farmers of the Year at the Farming Life awards.👨🌾🐦
So well deserved!👇
