[[link removed]]CAMPAIGNS UPDATE
June 2024
Dear John
It’s set to be a summer like no other with the general election now just weeks
away and TV debates taking place on our screens.
This is an era-defining moment for our countryside, the next government will
need to urgently address the biggest climate and nature crises of our time.
We’ve set out how we think the next government can deliver positive progress for
our countryside and communities – scroll down to find out more.
This week marked Volunteers’ Week (3-9 June) and we’ve loved celebrating
everything you’ve been doing to make a difference. Read on to find out more.
Our Hedgerows Heroes have also been busy working to plant and restore hedgerows
– read more below about why phase 3 of the project has been such a success.

HOW THE NEXT GOVERNMENT CAN DELIVER FOR OUR COUNTRYSIDE
The general election has been called for 4 July, and will take place amidst the
biggest climate and nature crises of our time. The next government will be faced
with many complex issues, and we call on all political parties to recognise the
value of the countryside and its essential role in responding to these urgent
challenges. Find out more below and check out our manifesto
[[link removed]] which details what we're calling for.

BETTER TRANSPORT WEEK
Better Transport Week is an annual week-long celebration of the sustainable
transport that makes our lives better. Public transport, shared travel, cycling,
walking and wheeling can give us a brighter transport future – one that is
greener and fairer, that connects people rather than leaving them behind, that
helps provide cleaner air and a planet fit for the next generation. This year,
Better Transport Week takes place from 17 to 23 June with events, specials
offers and competitions throughout the week. Find out more about Better
Transport Week and how to travel more sustainably below.
