This week, we released our Star Count results on our website, you can explore
the results on our interactive map. Star Count may be over but don’t worry, you
can enjoy more starry adventures with our children's book ‘ Gem and I’

Meanwhile, an ex steel boss has spoken out against plans for a Cumbrian coal
mine. We’re asking if the steel industry doesn’t want it, what reasons are left

Finally, we’d love to watch your countryside walk videos – read on to find out
how to send in your videos.

countryside and our planet. That’s why we’re saying #NoNewCoal.
