We campaign and influence

We’re the only charity dedicated to speaking up for nature in our two counties.

For 60 years we’ve been working with government, councils, farmers, and others to shape decisions affecting wildlife on land and at sea.

This has only been made possible with collective voices of you, our brilliant supporters. Whether it’s supporting our campaigns, writing to your MP, or talking to friends and families about wildlife - together we can protect the natural treasures on our doorstep.

Our priorities

Green Brexit

Environmental protection must remain in place post-Brexit

Land use

Choices about what we do with our countryside are having a huge impact on wildlife, whether development or farming

Living seas

Our oceans are being choked by plastic and pollution. We're working to help our wildlife recover.

Our rivers and wetlands are home to some incredible wildlife, but it's under great pressure

Protecting our species

Some of our most iconic British species are at risk of disappearing from our wild places.

Using our experience and evidence

Our experts collect and analyse information and evidence to influence decision-makers to safeguard and restore wildlife.

Whether it's gathering data about local seagrass beds to get new bye-laws in place, or surveying for protected birds to understand their movements and refuges - we're at the forefront of setting out evidence and making recommendations to councils, government and other organisations.
