The world is in a critical state. Urgent action is needed.

We campaign in our three counties and beyond, from ensuring wildlife is at the heart of government policy to empowering you to protect wildlife at home.

Nature for everyone

Everyone, everywhere, should be able to grow up, and grow old, with nature. One in three people in England do not have nature near their home, with little or no greenspace at all in some of the most disadvantaged areas.* Ethnic minorities are twice as likely to live in a neighbourhood without nature-rich spaces.**

A coalition of over 65 different organisations have come together behind this issue. Back our call, add your name and support our call for #NatureForEveryone

Say No to Peat Compost

Peat used in our compost is dug out of wild places, damaging some of the last remaining peatlands in the UK and overseas.

We need change!

We’ve imagined what The Wind in the Willows world would look today, and it’s not a happy story. But we don't have to have an unhappy ending.

We are calling for a Nature Recovery Network to be set in law, where wildlife and wild places are not only protected they're also restored and connected. David Attenborough explains below what this could look like.
