Matthew Pearce's article details how Allerton Project's bird abundance has risen 145% since 1992, compared with a 23% national decline. Key practices include no-till drilling, dedicated seed strips ('bird tables'), and beetle banks—uncultivated land planted with perennial grasses that provide pest control.
