Shropshire Wildlife Trust raising funds to buy 50-acre nature-rich site

Betchcott Hill has glorious views across the county and a mix of habitats home to curlew, cuckoo and lapwing

One of the most scenic and nature-rich spots in western England could be protected for ever in a boost for the curlew, cuckoo, lapwing and snipe that nest there.

Betchcott Hill has views across much of the county and its mix of grassland, wet flushes, woodland and heath sings with the calls of endangered birds in spring.
