How would you like to see your local green spaces improved? 

Our new research shows that more than two-thirds of us want to see our local green spaces enhanced with more plants and wildlife.  

By properly investing in our green spaces we can make these spaces easily accessible to more people and invite wildlife like birds, butterflies and bees back where they belong.

The coronavirus pandemic and subsequent reduction in traffic and air pollution has offered us a glimpse into what life would be like if the private car was not king.  

But the government is still planning to spend £27 billion on new roads, with some of them driving right through protected landscapes. 

We’re calling on the government to scrap these plans immediately and divert that money to areas that improve people’s lives, rather than pollute them.

While some restrictions have been lifted, many of us are still missing access to nature.

But there’s a wonderful variety of live streaming webcams to help you get your regular dose of wildlife.

We’ve rounded up 10 of our favourite streams for your weekend enjoyment.
