Stand for Nature Wales
Stand for Nature Wales is a national youth climate change project with a big ambition!
The five Wildlife Trusts in Wales have come together to mobilise young people to tackle the climate and ecological crises head-on. For the next three years, we will be working to empower and inspire young people to take action for nature and wildlife in their local area and unite their communities in an effort to reduce their collective environmental impact. From urban Cardiff to rural Anglesey, young people are standing up for nature and securing a greener future.
