Your council makes important decisions that can help nature thrive. They have the power to protect wild spaces from development, leave the grass to grow for bees, to stop using weedkillers, support communities to create spaces for nature and much more.

It's important that you vote for people who will stand up for nature. The more people that do this, the bigger a priority nature will be for your newly elected council. Let us know what you’d like your council to do for nature by taking part in our survey.
