Some wonderful projects here. 💚
The Green and Healthy Streets Fund supports exemplary projects that redesign streets to integrate green infrastructure and climat resilience measures. 🌳
Shame only 1/3 of the London boroughs involved.

This drought is having a devastating impact on our rivers. Seen a dry river in London? Use our 'River Ranger' tracker to log it, so that we can report it to the Environment Agency...

Please put out a dish of water for wildlife, they are completely desperate! Please don't assume that others will do it, usually they don't. If you can make it to the local church yard, please put a dish of water there as well.

As the hot weather continues please take the @LondonFire advice and make sure rubbish, especially glass, is safely thrown away and cigarettes are always properly disposed of.
Help us prevent more grass fires like this one in #MitchamCommon

Still time to submit an objection to Merton Council about the incredibly damaging AELTC development on Wimbledon Park. See below for links and suggested text from @WimSoc and local MPs. Deadline for comments is 15th August. Thank you to everyone who has responded so far! 😊

Building out into Green Belt is the worst possible option for London. It is a lose-lose scenario. We lose our countryside and we create a high-carbon, car-dependent, unhealthy city.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year, and may support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. More on why trees are awesome - and why we need more of them, not less: http://bit.ly/3s2WVA9 🌳

The conclusion is that the AELTC has utterly failed to take on board the hundreds of letters of objection and the views of the local communities and has merely tinkered with some of the details.
