This May, Fields in Trust, the only UK charity fighting to make sure local parks and green spaces are legally protected, is running its Bark For Our Parks fundraising campaign to support its important work.

The charity says our local parks are at risk of being built on and lost forever. So, it is encouraging anyone who cares about their local parks and greens spaces to join them and take a four-legged stand to help protect our parks by taking part in Bark For Our Parks.

It is calling all dogs (and their human owners) to take on the challenge of walking 50km or 100km this May to help raise funds in support of the charity’s work.
