February 2023
Dear John
There’s now less than a week to go until Star Count
[[link removed]] ! We can’t wait to gaze up at the skies and count the stars, and we hope you’ll
be joining us.
In case you missed it, wildlife TV presenter and conservationist Chris Packham
shared the news of our Star Count on his social media channels – watch the video
on Twitter

As January came to a close, the government announced new hedgerow targets as
part of its new Environmental Improvement Plan. This is a huge win for our
campaign and we couldn’t have done it without you – read on to find out more.
With February in full swing, spring is just around the corner. This means lots
of wildlife waking up after a period of hibernation through the winter - read on
for what we can look forward to spotting in nature this month.

STAR COUNT IS COMING!
Between 17-24 February join us in counting the stars in Orion. Your results will
help us make a map of where star-spotters are enjoying deep, dark skies. By
showing on a map where light pollution is most serious, we can work with local
councils and others to decide what to do about it. Every count helps - sign up
to take part below if you haven’t already!

A HUGE CAMPAIGN WIN FOR HEDGEROWS
We’re celebrating a big step forward for nature and climate as the government
has finally announced an ambitious target to create or restore 30,000 miles of
hedgerows by 2037, and 45,000-miles of hedgerows by 2050, under the new
Environmental Improvement Plan 2023.
