At the rate nature is declining, babies born today may never hear a skylark or see a hedgehog by the time they are an adult.
Many of our iconic species face extinction and our natural places, like beaches and forests, are being polluted with plastic and sewage.
Being out in nature plays a critical role in children's mental health, and we are the last generation who can save it from irreversible destruction.
Join us today and help create a world to grow up in.
Creating a world to grow up in
Restoring nature
Hungry and homeless, UK wildlife is in freefall. That's why our campaigners are racing to strengthen laws which protect our green and pleasant land, so it can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Postcode Gardeners
We're transforming built-up spaces into havens for nature and play. Our Postcode Gardeners work with communities across the country to bring the wonders of nature close to home.
Protecting their world
Bad building development and pollution have had a devastating effect on nature. We're here to take a stand for the youngest generation and our precious wildlife, so they have a safe and healthy future.

"I am so very grateful for all your help and support. It breaks my heart to see our precious green spaces just ripped apart and all the life that they supported destroyed or displaced. We seem to have forgotten that this beautiful world is to share and that the plants, birds and animals were here first."
– Naomi, Friends of the Earth Supporter
