Our staff and volunteer LGBTQIA+ group chose the name ‘Starlings’ – Starlings are colourful, speak in many voices and gather in large flocks. The Starlings have built an incredible community within the organisation, and we hope to continue to build from their achievements.

Happy Pride Month!

Pride is a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and recommit to making nature welcoming to all who fight to protect it. It takes a great team to save nature - Let's build a movement of nature lovers where everyone is welcome, and everyone feels safe.
