Love where you live? We need your support to protect nature in your area by urging Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury councils to declare a nature emergency. The councils are welcoming your comments on various topics, including climate and nature.

Just five minutes of your time could influence the next 15 years where you live, so don't miss this opportunity to share your ideas with your local council. Together, we can influence positive change, reversing wildlife declines and ensuring a sustainable future for Gloucestershire that benefits both people and nature.
