          |  | The 50,000
            members of the CLA have an interest in countryside issues, some with
            large farms and estates, others with smaller amounts of land. What
            they have in common is a commitment to rural life. |

          |  | The National
            Trust was founded in 1895 by three Victorian philanthropists - Miss
            Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley. Concerned
            about the impact of uncontrolled development and industrialisation,
            they set up the Trust to act as a guardian for the nation in the
            acquisition and protection of threatened countryside and buildings. |
