Shropshire climate campaigners are travelling north to try and convince millions of people to back new environmental legislation.
Watch more of our videos on ShotsTV.comSalopians will be at the forefront of a bid to get 5.3 million National Trust members to support the Climate and Nature Bill at the organisation's annual general meeting in Newcastle this Saturday, November 2.
The CAN Bill, as it is informally known, was re-introduced into the new session of the UK Parliament on October 16 by Dr Roz Savage MP with 11 co-sponsors including Conservative, Labour, SNP, Lib Dem, Green and Plaid Cymru MPs. Dr Savage, one of the new intake of MPs, is a long-standing environmental campaigner and a world-record holding solo ocean rower.
He said:"My children have grown up exploring the woods and mansion at Attingham Park and hiking across the Long Mynd thanks to the vital work that the National Trust does in protecting our green spaces and preserving our heritage. The Climate and Nature Bill will have its second reading on January 24 next year, when it will need at least 102 MPs to vote for it in order for it to progress to its committee stage.
