Join the Restore Nature Now march on 22nd June 2024 to give a voice to wildlife and nature. Come along to the march with your family, on your own or reach out to one of the many ActForEaling Partners also participating on the march.
The Restore Nature Now march is intended to draw attention to the serious plight of UK’s habitats and ecosystems, and calls for more support for farmers, stronger punishments against polluters, more rewilding and protected spaces, and strong action to address the climate crisis.
The march will be gathering at Park Lane, London, W1K, between midday and 1pm on Saturday 22 June 2024. With local Ealing groups meeting earlier to make their way into central London.

Ealing Transition will be leaving Ealing Broadway station at 11.20am, or you can meet them at the Joy of Life fountain in Hyde park at 12pm. If you would like to meet up with them, you can email steering@ealingtransition.org.
Ealing Wildlife Group are also meeting at ealing Broadway tube station at 11.20 if you would like to join us. Sign up on the events page so that they know you are coming.
Warren Farm Nature Reserve are also joining the Restore Nature now march. Warren Farm have experienced firsthand in Ealing the huge value & positive impact people power brings in giving a voice to wildlife. From their family-friendly protest to a petition of over 25,800 signatures these actions led to saving the area for nature. By coming together we were heard & Local Nature Reserve designation is incoming. The Skylarks, Wildflowers, Butterflies, Little Owls & so many more will have a protected home at Warren farm thanks to all that supported them in Ealing. So lets all come together and give a voice to wildlife and nature across the country.
The march is supported by a diverse group of dozens of wildlife and environment organisations. This includes the RSPB, The Wildlife Trusts, The Climate Coalition, WWF-UK, National Trust, WWT, Woodland Trust, Wildlife and Countryside Link, Rewilding Britain, Extinction Rebellion and Chris Packham.
The natural world is in trouble and we need to take action. We are in a climate & biodiversity crisis, suffering mass species decline and our rivers are increasingly being polluted.
