Get ready to speak up for nature!

The Prime Minister has announced that the UK will hold a General Election on 4 July 2024 and it's crucial that nature's voice is heard.

This General Election is incredibly important for wildlife and wild spaces across the UK, and beyond. The UK is already classified as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries, the incoming Government will be responsible for turning this around.

You can ensure nature is given the priority it deserves in Cumbria - whether you are a voter or a candidate, you've come to the right place! Find out all you need to know about The Wildlife Trusts' priorities and how you can act with nature in mind, below.
