COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE

The Countryside Alliance was created in 1997 as a response to the newly elected Labour Government’s pledge to ban hunting with dogs. An amalgamation of three organisations: The Countryside Business Group, the British Field Sports Society and the Countryside Movement, the Countryside Alliance has in its short life become the major British campaigning organisation on rural issues. With around 100,000 members the Countryside Alliance defends and promotes country sports and rural life at Parliament, in the media and on the ground.
