Today we finished clearing mud and vegetation from one of #BenfieldValley access paths. Thank you to our #volunteers for joining us to make this a safe and accessible path for all!

Only 3% of England is properly protected #ForNature, according to new @WCL_News research.

We need 10X more by 2030 to keep the #30x30 promise and stop the decline of #wildlife. With the state of politics, it’s important to make our voices heard.

@MeganMcCubbin @WCL_News We're fighting to protect our urban green spaces includimg Benfield Valley Nature Reserve. But we desperately need help fighting our corrupt councils decision to rip out our largest urban woodland in B&H in favour of 100 dwellings on our last green lung. Please help!

[The Benfield Valley Project @BenfieldValley]

@ChrisGPackham @XRebellionUK Our urban fringe green spaces in Brighton and Hove are being built on in the name of 'protection'! Only adding to our problems today rather than solving them! We could use all the help we can get fighting our corrupt councillors who wouldn't allow the community to have a say.

The sun is shining and I’m out fighting for local green belt - the last green lung of Brighton and Hove 🤞🏼#savebenfieldvalley @BenfieldValley #brighton #hove

[The Benfield Valley Project @BenfieldValley]

@ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @michaelastracha please help us fight this decision!!!!

[The Benfield Valley Project @BenfieldValley]

Thank you @BHDemocracyNews for sharing our story. We are outraged and disgusted by the major of the councillors. When the community isn't allowed to speak, corruption is in the council is clear.

Thank you to everyone who came yesterday. Despite our efforts #CityPlanPart2 has been approved with no amendments. But we're still going to #fight and we're not going to stop.

Thank you for all your support and your continued support.

Best wishes

I'm so sad about this. We're at a critical point in the climate crisis, when ALL green belt should be protected for carbon storage and wildlife habitat. Meanwhile one in 37 homes in Brighton and Hove is empty 🤦‍♀️ https://t.co/WvekIVnEhX @BHDemocracyNews @BenfieldValley

[The Benfield Valley Project @BenfieldValley]

@michaelastracha Wonderful bear impression!
We are trying to stop the destruction of our nature reserve and could really use some help with getting the word out.
Best wishes and kindest regards,
Kayla
