LANDOWNERS are being invited to provide the names of countryside carers.

Those who have looked after the countryside's rivers, moorland and open spaces for more than 40 years will be presented with a long service award.

The Country Land and Business Association is holding an awards ceremony at a game fair this summer.

The event will be held over three days, from July 27 to July 29, at Broadlands, in Hampshire, the home of Lord and Lady Romsey.

Application forms for river and game keeper long service awards are available from the CLA regional office on (01347) 823803.
