🌿 Green spaces have become more vital than ever this year. Today we confirmed 34 community greening projects that will receive grants through @MayorofLondon's #GrowBackGreener fund. And we've targeted areas less likely to have access to green space. https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/parks-green-spaces-and-biodiversity/grow-back-greener-fund

Did you know it was once reported that the sheer weight of a flock of #starlings landing on #BigBen stopped the enormous clock?

Sadly, starling numbers in the UK have fallen 66% since the 70s - but you can still spot them on #Battersea and #Vauxhall Bridges!

Maybe one to talk about at the next meeting of @RBKC -as someone who lives in a street where less than 1/3 households have cars, but we have 3 lines of parking... I'd vote for this... @CityWestminster https://twitter.com/CPRELondon/status/1333719993976950785

Lots to like in the government's new roadmap for farming.

✔️ emphasis on restoring nature
✔️ recovery of degraded soils prioritised
✔️ recognition climate crisis is an existential threat.

But they need to get delivery and detail of the new policy right.

What steps should we prioritise for building a fairer and more resilient city?

With #lockdown2uk coming to an end, we've taken time to reflect on what the key priorities need to be for a green recovery!

Last week London campaigners published 'Parking Transformed' - a report showing us there’s no need for every street in London to be a car park!

They call for a minimum of 30 streets in each borough to be transformed from parking to parks 🌳

Happy #NationalTreeWeek!

Trees are the lungs of the world & are often the oldest members of our local London boroughs, standing proudly in city parks. They are are also one of our best allies for fighting #ClimateChange!

@CPRE will be celebrating with @TheTreeCouncil 🌳💚
