Action Ideas
Blue Plaques for Nature
Based on the iconic English Heritage blue plaques designed to commemorate a noteble person, these plaques designed by the 'Dirty Water' campaign team are to commemorate nature and wildlife - current designs are focussed on promotion before and use during Restore Nature Now on 22nd June 2024.
See full details of how to print, modify and produce these plaques here.
Visiting a garden centre dressed as bees
This Local Group visited their local garden centre dressed as bees to raise awareness of the disastrous consequences to wildlife of gardeners and farmers using glysophate (often sold as Round Up).
This outreach focused action did not disrupt shoppers, but encouraged them to think more sustainably when shopping, and raised awareness of the scale of the problems to biodiversity being caused by widespread pesticide use.
Parliament of Owls
These paper owls look beautiful in a flock and have been made for The Big One (2023) and Restore Nature Now (2024)
They are relatively easy to make as the templates and instructions can be downloaded here. This makes a good group art activity as it is accessible to everyone!
