The event is a collaboration between the RSPB, the Wildlife Trusts, the League Against Cruel Sports and nature conservationist Dr Mark Avery.
Amanda Miller, the RSPB’s conservation manager for Northern England, said: ““We need to show our politicians we value our local landscapes and wildlife, and that we want future generations to have the chance to enjoy them.”
