A longer film about why these fabulous birds are so important, following the dedicated work of Richard Baines, our Turtle Dove Project Officer, to save the UK’s fastest declining bird.
The North Yorkshire Turtle Dove Project is funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund, North York Moors National Park, Forestry Commission and Howardian Hills AONB, in partnership with RSPB, Scarborough Borough Council, and North and East Yorkshire Ecological Data Centre. Along with a dedicated team of 70 volunteers, the project works alongside farmers and land managers to create new habitats and monitor population levels to help save this bird on the brink.
