Why you should be a member of the CLA


Anyone who owns rural land will benefit from joining the CLA.

With the rewards of owning rural land and property in the countryside come responsibilities – CLA membership provides you with the knowledge and expertise to help you recognise all the opportunities and avoid the pitfalls.

Our members include landowners of all kinds – from those who own a country house with just a few acres to those who own woodland or run smallholdings, from farmers large and small to estate owners with many diversified business streams and institutions. Find out more today.

Anyone who runs a rural business will benefit from joining the CLA

Membership of the CLA is a unique networking opportunity with the key landowning and rural communities you need to reach.

Whether you run an enterprise which is connected to the land or simply provide products to the rural community, find out how CLA can help you as a business member.

Any professional working in the rural community will benefit from joining the CLA

Whether you are a sole practitioner, a partner in a rural practice or large national firm, there are many reasons why you should become a professional member of the CLA. Find out what we can do for you.
