The Trust was delighted to have a number of representatives attending the Restore Nature Now march in London on Saturday 22 June, 2024. Staff members Tom, Ruby, Martina and Dorinda headed to London with a range of fantastic and inspirational placards, which had been designed and produced by the Trust’s young conservation ranger volunteers.
The Durham Wildlife Trust representatives joined an estimated 60,000+ people and more than 350 charities, businesses and action groups to walk together through central London to parliament.
The march is thought to have been the biggest public demonstration in the General Election run-up and shows the strength of public opinion on the need for stronger political action to tackle the nature and climate crisis.
Ruby Merriman, Bluespaces Delivery Manager, said: “It was great to represent Durham Wildlife Trust at the march on Saturday and see so many other people joining together to march for nature. The event gave an overwhelming sense that we are not alone in this fight for our natural world.”
