Walk for Wildlife postponed until Spring 2023

I was looking forward to the Walk for Wildlife which had been scheduled for 27th November 2022.

SS15 wildlife watching: It is time to take to the streets again - Peoples Walk for Wildlife 2.0 - 27th November 2022

However, this message has been sent out by Chris Packham to everyone this evening ....

Sadly I must announce that we are postponing The People’s Walk for Wildlife on November 27th due to the impact of train strikes over the weekend – we will be rescheduling for Spring 2023.

Since the announcement of the rail strike taking place on Saturday 26th November, we’ve done our best to reschedule the walk to the 27th and maintain momentum, excitement and numbers.

Unfortunately it’s become clear that travel on Sunday 27th will still be severely impacted by the previous day’s strikes. It means that many wildlife lovers from further afield would be unable to make it on time for the walk’s start. The strikes have also significantly impacted travel costs, meaning even those who can still travel on time are finding the costs of rail travel to be too expensive at a time many people are struggling with the cost of living.

We’ll be rescheduling the walk to the Spring. Whilst this might feel far away, it’ll come around really fast, and it gives us some time to massively build momentum and support. We’ll be settling on a date and sharing this as soon as possible – so as to give a big build up and generate lots of excitement.

Thank you so much for all of your support – we’re deeply saddened that we can’t go ahead with the walk as planned next weekend. We’ll be updating everyone shortly when we have a new date for Spring 2023!
