Dear John

The year has only just started and we're already just weeks away from Star Count, taking place between 26 February and 6 March. We've created a handy video to show you how to take part. And if you have young children, or know someone who does - why not order a copy of Gem and I, a magical children’s book on the importance of dark skies.

Many of you have already joined us in saying no to a new coal mine in Cumbria. You can still sign our petition and help us reach 10,000 signatures.

In other news, we've published a new report showing the many benefits of protecting local green spaces. Everybody should have access to the benefits of nature, no matter where they live.

And finally, we’ve got some tips on what to look out for on your countryside walks in February.

Star Count 2022: how to take part

With Star Count around the corner, we've created an easy step-by-step video for you to follow so you can have a successful count and join in with all the fun!

Whether you’re taking part from home or in an open space our six tips will give you all the information you need to locate Orion and count the stars within its four corners.

Tell the government: no new coal mine in Cumbria

Over 8,000 of you have signed up to stop the government from creating a new coal mine in Cumbria. It would be the first of its kind in over 30 years and would produce more emissions than all the country’s currently-open coal mines combined.

We only have a matter of weeks to act: help us reach 10,000 signatures.

Read our Local Green Spaces report

Earlier this month we published our new Local Green Spaces research. The report highlights the many health and wellbeing spaces of these precious green spaces.

We want to make the countryside more accessible for everyone - no matter what their background is.
