I am a resident of Bembridge, UK, deeply passionate about the natural world that surrounds us. I believe that introducing a nature walk and bird hides would be an incredible addition to our local environment. This initiative would not only enhance the beauty of our area but also provide an opportunity for people to connect with nature and learn about the diverse species that inhabit our region.

The Environment Agency owns vast tracts of land across the country, much of which is rich in biodiversity. According to The Wildlife Trusts, there are over 70,000 different animal species in the UK alone (source: The Wildlife Trusts). By creating a dedicated nature walk on this land with bird hides for observation, we could provide residents and visitors alike with unique opportunities to observe these creatures in their natural habitat.

Moreover, such initiatives have been shown to have positive impacts on mental health. A study by Stanford University found that spending time in nature can reduce stress levels and improve mood (source: Stanford University).

By signing this petition you are supporting not just an enhancement of our local environment but also promoting well-being within our community through increased access to green spaces. Please join me in urging the Environment Agency to establish a nature walk and bird hides on their land here at Harbour Farm in Bembridge.
