The BBC TV Springwatch host has been victim of hate communications over his high-profile campaign - as a director of the Wild Justice lobby group - for tighter legal controls on the shooting of species such as carrion crows, magpies and woodpigeons which are reckoned to cause damage to livestock, crops and other birds.
His actions have outraged some landowners, farmers, field sport enthusiasts and gun-owners.
The letter says: "We know where you live Packham and we want you dead and we will get you some way or another."
The 57-year-old told the Mirror he has also received through the post other offensive material including human excrement.
However, though disgusted by the conduct of some of his critics, he insists he will not be intimidated.
He has vowed to continue campaigning for the wellbeing of the environment and causes he believes in.
In the meantime, police are investigating.
