Instagram: The Countryside Alliance is known for its lobbying and campaigning work on wildlife and management, but its agenda is far broader than that, incorporating food & farming, local businesses and services, and the injustices of poor mobile phone signal and broadband in the countryside. The Countryside Alliance was formed in 1997 when the British Field Sports Society, the Countryside Movement and the Countryside Business Group the Alliance amalgamated. We are known for having arranged several pro-countryside marches and rallies including the Hyde Park Rally on 10 July 1997, the Countryside March on 1 March 1998 (360,000 people) and the Liberty & Livelihood March on 22 September 2002 (407,791 people). These demonstrations were held to support fieldsports in response to a newly elected Labour Government that was hostile. The wrangling over fieldsports continued for many years resulting in the failed and discredited Hunting Act 2004. We work tirelessly to promote and protect hunting and shooting interests, and our work for fishing includes Countryside Alliance Foundation projects; Fishing for Schools and Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland. Although country sports remain on the frontline of our campaigns, we are anything but single issue. Our campaigns on broadband, mobile phone signal, fly tipping, affordable housing, food & farming and rural business (through the Countryside Alliance Awards) show that we represent the interests of those who love the British countryside, regardless of who or where they are. With around 100,000 members and supporters, the Countryside Alliance promotes and protects rural life at Parliament, in the media and on the ground. Join us at www.countryside-alliance.org

At a time where the UK faces major challenges, is banning trail hunting really a government priority?

We asked people at our Campaign for the Countryside launch for their views. Many felt rural communities are too often ignored, and that decisions are being made without a full understanding of the realities on the ground. Trail hunting is an important part of rural Britain and the communities that sustain it.
