Campaigns Update

We’ve just wrapped up our fourth successful year of hedgerow planting, with local groups planting and restoring over 28,000 metres of hedgerow far surpassing the original target of 18,820 metres! It's been an incredible year, and thanks to everyone's hard work, we've now planted a total of 66 miles of hedgerow.

Did you hear the news? Recently, the government announced that solar panels are to be fitted on new-build homes in England by 2027.

This milestone wouldn’t have happened without your support. For over two years, thousands of you have campaigned with us to advocate for change, with over 10,000 of you backing the Sunshine Bill this January, calling for solar on all suitable new homes — and the government listened.

Now, let's keep the momentum going and ask the government to brighten up big roofspaces and make the best use of finite land.

Last week we celebrated Volunteer's Week and we just want to say a huge thank you to all our incredible volunteers across the network. Your contributions power our movement and bring us closer to a thriving countryside for all. Our local groups have nominated some special individuals to receive awards for their outstanding contributions, and we’re delighted to be able to celebrate them together.

Want to get involved? We're expanding our existing team of online campaign activists and by taking simple online actions, you can help champion environmental issues. Apply today and help support your countryside.

We’d love your feedback to help us make sure we’re sharing the kind of content and updates you actually want, delivered in the way that works best for you.

On 9 July we’ll be heading to the Mass Lobby, organised by The Climate Coalition, demanding a bold and fair climate plan from government. Will you join us?

Best wishes,

Lewis
