"What do you want to see for the future of nature in the UK? "
Based on our previous workshops, we'd like to hear your thoughts on the priorities for the future of nature - click here - to fill out the survey!
"Young people are going to inherit the earth, they should not only be heard, but an active participant in decision making. GYBN UK are a remarkable group of passionate and knowledgeable young people ensuring exactly that. What they have been able to accomplish in their first 6months is extraordinary. They are not only the leaders of tomorrow, but today."
