** A #ClimateOfChange
------------------------------------------------------------

Campaign for National Parks is excited to be supporting the 2020 Big Green Draw Festival which announced its theme this week: #ClimateOfChange

The Big Draw is the world's biggest drawing festival and 2020 will be the 20th anniversary of the event.

Chief Executive of Campaign for National Parks, Corinne Pluchino said: “It is fantastic to join the Big Draw for the 2020 festival. It is crucially important to our present livelihoods and our future wellbeing that we strive to better connect with nature. Art and nature are universal languages. It was the Romantic poets and artists that inspired generations of National Park campaigners and so, after more than 80 years of fighting for the National Parks, it is only right that we join with the Big Draw to encourage everyone to seek their inspiration in the great outdoors.”
