Really happy to be able to talk publicly about this project now...we haven't done anything quite like this before and can't think of two better organisations to be partnering up with ๐๐๐ค๐ช
We're partnering with @Action4conserv & Heartwood CIC for Intergenerational Action for Climate & Nature, thanks to @TNLComFund!
Over 3 years, young people will restore 650 acres, working with farmers, ecologists & communities to revitalise UK landscapes: https://t.co/r8fxgP7ksU
Working with @Action4Conserv, we're looking for local young people to join a Youth Leadership Group at our Grow Wilder II site. Meet like-minded people, learn from experts and get involved with hands-on conservation action!

Today we want to share a story about the true spirit of Bristol and a community coming together ๐
In Redcliffe, a neglected patch has blossomed into a vibrant community garden!
#Bristol#NextdoorNature
As people outside the Mercure chant that refugees are welcome here, protesters on the other side of the road advise them to fuck off. โGo home and take your hate away,โ sing the human shield in response.
Outside a hotel in Redcliffe, Bristol - the hotel is being protected by hundreds of Bristolians shouting โWe are many, you are few. We are Bristol, who are you?โ to a group of around 100 protesters who had marched on the hotel
Our team of dedicated Young Volunteers have been busy at Grow Wilder helping with some needed tree care around some fruit trees!

Thank you to all of our young volunteers and all the hard work you put in to help support nature ๐ชโจ
