Growing Green Spaces

Growing Green Spaces was a Natural Resources Wales funded project working with Linc-Cymru increasing access to green space to benefit communities

We’ve written a good practice guide about enhancing green space to benefit #wellbeing for housing associations. English: https://t.co/kH43gRt3w5 Cymraeg: https://t.co/7gsWhR6uAg #GreenerHA @NatResWales

Sunnyside will feature community growing space and natural play areas. 🌿

[Linc Cymru @Linc_Cymru]

We're pleased to share that our innovative new development in Bridgend, Sunnyside Wellness Village, in partnership with @WRWConstruction @CwmTafMorgannwg & @BridgendCBC has received support & funding from @WG_Communities & @WGHealthandCare

Absolutely thrilled that Lysaght Community Garden and St Mellon’s Community Garden have retained their Community Green Flag’s and it is all down to local tenants and community members . 🌿🌱🌿

[Linc Cymru @Linc_Cymru]

The community garden run by the Friends of Lysaght community group has been awarded the Community Green Flag award for the second year running!
Located in the grounds of @lysaghtnewport, it has been used as a vegetable patch, wildflower meadow & educational events!

[Linc Cymru @Linc_Cymru]

Are you passionate about environmental issues?

We're looking for someone with good level of understanding of biodiversity & carbon reduction policy that can help us to develop our approaches to zero carbon, sustainability & the climate emergency: https://t.co/4BOMUPPQnz

It's our last day with Luke as our environmental officer, he runs @greeninglinc account and will be greatly missed. Today, he shares the latest campaigns running about increasing the number of wild meadows, a project which he has supported across our communities

Success on leaving verges long thanks to the Biodiversity Officer at @NewportCouncil identifying suitable areas in Rogerstone. NCC will only cut the sight lines around the entrance to Ruskin Avenue and will collect arisings at the end of the summer. Good news for 🐝, 🦋 and 🦗

Last year, @Linc_Cymru kindly donated enough wildflower seed for us to sow 222m2 of wildflower areas (this is in addition to the Welfare meadow) - can you help us find places to create patches for pollinators? 🐝🦋🌼🌺 @NewportCouncil

Another walk, another sad park @cardiffcouncil! This entire park in Horwood close, Splott has been mown! Over 100 ppl have signed our open letter to mow less & later: https://t.co/JKTcnv2trC @PEBradbury @huwthomas_Wales @msjanehenshaw @EdwardStubbs @OwenLLewJones

The projects we support are postponed, but for the meantime please enjoy some house sparrows from Luke’s garden. #WildCardiffHour

Please let your dandelions bloom - they are incredibly important for pollinating insects at this time of year!

[Growing Green Spaces @greeninglinc]

Echoing this tweet here. If not in self isolation, nature can still be enjoyed at this beautiful time of year observing social distancing rules. It’s well-being benefits will now be more important than ever!

‘Stress relief’: Nature remains open to public, say groups

With many activities halted by #coronavirus, the benefits of time spent in nature still available
