Show the love this Valentine's Day

Your own little green heart - wear it with pride!

Your local wetland centre is a great place to go for a Valentine’s Day date with someone you love.

WWT has teamed up with the Climate Coalition to invite you to ‘show the love’ this Valentine’s Day by making a green heart – out of card, fabric or whatever you want.

The green heart is a reminder that whoever – and whatever – we love is affected by climate change. So protecting the world from climate change is about protecting everything we love.

At WWT we’re doing some big work on that front. Our new Steart Marshes reserve for example has been created to help protect the Severn Estuary from the effects of rising sea levels caused by melting polar ice.

Yup, nature shows it can make green hearts too!

But it’s also the little things that matter. And wearing a green heart tells the world that you care. Find out more from the Climate Coalition about making your green heart for Valentine’s Day.

Look out next week for a film to accompany the green hearts, based on a story written by children's author Michael Morpurgo. We’ll post it on WWT’s social media when it’s out, if you like it, do please share it.
