Campaigns Update

It's frustrating that the decision on the Cumbrian coal mine has been kicked down the road, but we're not giving up now. We'll continue to campaign to stop the Cumbrian coal mine from going ahead and will update you on further developments as soon as we get them.

This month, why not take part in Plastic Free July, a global movement that millions take part in to help be a part of the solution to plastic pollution? Our recent research indicates that we waste 126 empty containers a year – 40% of which are plastic bottles, which is why we’re continuing to call on the government to implement a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).

Whether it's a meadow, woodland or common, our local green spaces offer huge benefits for both people and wildlife. Meet the campaigners and community groups across the country that have come together to defend their local wild spaces with creativity, resourcefulness and resilience.

Did you visit a stone circle this year to celebrate summer solstice? We've put together a list of seven lesser-known stone circles that are located all around the UK and are open for you to visit. Our countryside is speckled with these mysterious spiritual sites that are just as inspiring as Stonehenge!

A countryside walk in July is a full-on experience, because the natural world is super busy during this month. As we hit the peak of summer, why not take a stroll through your local countryside or green space to get a firsthand view of the beautiful sights and sounds of nature?
