Campaigners from Shropshire are heading to London next weekend for a nature protest led by TV conservationist Chris Packham.

The Restore Nature Now march takes place on Saturday, June 22, and is expected to be the biggest gathering of people protesting about nature and the climate crisis that the UK has ever seen.

Jamie Russell, from Extinction Rebellion Shrewsbury, said:"Nature is in crisis. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world and here in Shropshire we are losing wildlife at a shocking rate, from hedgehogs to bees to fish. "The Restore Nature Now march will demand the next government puts nature at the heart of its agenda. Protect our green spaces and rivers; make polluters pay; properly compensate farmers who are caring for nature; and deliver robust legislation to ensure everyone has the right to a healthy environment."More than 100 Shropshire campaigners are travelling to London with coaches departing from the Marches, Shrewsbury, and Telford.
