Support the April 18th UK-wide Day of Local Action for Nature and Green Spaces
In the build up to the May 7th local Council elections, so as to raise the profile of the need to protect nature, please organise something at your site or in your area on that day. It can be a picnic, a photo-shoot, a press release, a history walk, a protest – whatever you wish.
