Originally founded as The Standing Conference for Countryside Management and Sports, and re-launched in 2019 as The Countryside Forum with an amended remit,

The Countryside Forum holds two conferences each year, at which the most influential organisations and individuals who shape the future of the countryside of England, Scotland and Wales meet to consider major issues in a gathering  which is impartial, objective and well-informed. The conferences address all issues which affect our countryside, including conservation, farming, wildlife and country sports.
