Campaigning for a wilder future

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust campaigns on local and national issues that affect the county's wildlife and wild places.

Locally we campaign for better outcomes for nature, including contacting and meeting with MPs and local leaders, to make sure protecting wildlife remains on their agenda.

There are many ways you can give nature a voice, including contacting your MP. By doing this it means they are aware of the valid concerns of their constituents. And the more people that do so, the more they will feel the issue needs attention. It is important to keep up the pressure, as then it's more likely for an MP to question the government’s position. We do see examples where MPs who were strongly opposed to certain developments or issues have done complete u-turns due to consistent engagement from their constituents.

At the same time, showing the people around you, in person or on social media, that you oppose an issue and are contacting your MP about it has a huge impact. Seeing that you’ve made the effort often encourages those around you to do the same, and feel reassured that they’re not alone.
