Wildlife presenter Megan McCubbin hailed the growing influence of young people in the climate movement and called for more youngsters to get involved in local projects.
McCubbin, who presents BBC’s Springwatch, said the conservation and environment sectors needed even greater youth and diversity amidst the growing impact of climate change, as she praised the work of a number of National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
Figures released today show that more than £3 Billion of National Lottery good causes funding has been invested over the last decade to projects across the UK which specifically support and develop children and young people.
