Joan and Gill are speaking at the launch of Stepping up for Nature - telling us about the work of Friends of North Kent Marshes - bringing communities and conservation to life,

And here's Gary Prescott (who visited all RSPB reserves by bike in 2010 - and we managed to add four while he was en route!)

And finally Dominik Reynolds (10) speaking like a seasoned veteran - fresh from giving the door of No10 the loudest knock for years when handing in our 355,773 Letters to the Future

What an inspiring series of talks.

  • It was a privilege to 'Step Up for Nature' with the RSPB. Dominik was truly inspirational and Gary's year long cycle ride to every RSPB reserve in 2010 was amazing.   We would like to say thank you to the RSPB  for giving us the opportunity to speak to Defra Secretary of State Caroline Spelman MP who told us that our comments about the importance of the Thames estuary, its habitats and wildlife were 'coming through loud and clear'.

    We fully support this important campaign which encourages Government, businesses and individuals to Step Up and play their part for nature.
