GROUPS
Over 300 organisations are attending Restore Nature Now. Some of those groups will naturally align with one of the nature blocks, such as Oceana and Angling Trust in the Water block, and the Bat Conservation Trust in the Air block.
The table below shows some of the early supporters and their blocks - as well as where interest or affiliation blocs like Health, Youth and Justice groups might like to meet up.
It's important to remember that nature is the overall theme, that anyone can go in any block, and this is just a guide to help organise common interests and topics together.
ACCESSIBILITY
As well as space at the front of the Park Lane assembly area and march, there is a dedicated shorter march route, setting off from Whitehall Place. Ramps will be added in key locations and BSL interpreters will be signing the speeches on the main stage.
For more information on accessibility, please check out the dedicated information page.
Q: Where will my group or organisation be?
A: Some groups are easy to find - e.g. The Woodland Trust will be in the Woods section. If you're not sure where your group will be, please check with them directly.
ARRIVAL BY TUBE
To ease pressure on the London Underground, 4 different tube stations serve the 4 theme blocks:
Hyde Park Corner - WOODS
Green Park - WATER
Bond Street - LAND
Marble Arch - AIR
Attendees are asked to please use the side streets to the east of Park Lane (as shown) to reduce the foot-fall on the front and back of the march.
Attendees are asked not to use Hyde Park as a meeting point - this is due to the Northbound carriage way remaining open to traffic, as well as other activities happening in the park.
FAMILIES & YOUNG PEOPLE
Restore Nature Now is designed to be welcoming to families and young people!
During the assembly in Park Lane, a dedicated space at the front of the march - in the Woodland section (A1) will be set up for families. There will be bubble blowing, face painting and other activities for young people to take part in from 12:00 to 12:45pm - with a friendly and welcoming vibe!
Once the march reaches the rally, in Parliament Square, the families groups will take up position on the grass near the Abraham Lincoln statue. There will be colouring and Letters to the Earth with be there with origami birds to give a voice to nature.
