As I write we’re waiting to hear what the 2012 budget holds for us all – and what it will mean for the future of the natural environment.
Over 19,000 of you stepped up and told the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the environment does not have to be sacrificed in the pursuit of economic recovery ... vital as that is.

The Chancellor has heard – we’ll know shortly if he’s listened.
We’ll have reaction and analysis coming out over the next few days as we hear the headlines and study the detail – what’s absolutely certain is that there will be lots of opportunities for you to step up for nature in the coming weeks.
But for now – thank you!
