Shropshire Wildlife Trust has bought Betchcott Hill and wants to restore the site to encourage iconic birds like the curlew.

A wildlife trust is calling for donations to help them transform a site in the heart of the Shropshire Hills.

Shropshire Wildlife Trust has bought Betchcott Hill, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between the Stiperstones and the Long Mynd.

The trust wants to breathe new life into the 50 hectare landscape through a restoration project for its diverse habitats, from wetland bogs to woodland hedgerows.

But to make that happen the trust needs to raise nearly £140,000 by the end of the year, having raised £93.500 so far.
