A GROUP of nature conservation, wildlife and animal welfare charities are calling on people in Cumbria to visit the Houses of Parliament next month to help put nature firmly on the political agenda.
On December 9, hundreds of people from across the country are joining the Rally for Nature.
This event will see them march to Parliament and challenge MPs from the major parties to make firm commitments for wildlife and the environment in their 2015 election manifestos.
The Rally for Nature is free but participants need to register by visiting http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rally-for-nature-registration-13703157513?aff=RSPB or via http://www.league.org.uk.
