Speak up for wetlands this election
The Prime Minister has announced that a General Election will take place on Thursday 4 July.
This is an era-defining moment for us, and for nature. Wetlands are a vital solution to our nature, climate and wellbeing crises. The time to unlock their powers is now.
Join us in making sure the next government recognises the superpower potential of our rivers, our marshes, our peatlands and our ponds.
On 4 July, make your vote count for nature, for wildlife and for people.
