It's embarrassing that an academic institution doesn't know the difference between an oak and a chestnut! This sign sums up the truth behind @MiddlesexUni improvements to biodiversity #greenwashing

[Friends of the Welsh Harp @welshharpies]

The Priestley Way trash screen at the River Brent intercepts a large amount of plastic pollution that would otherwise flow into the Welsh Harp (Brent Reservoir) — as long as it is cleared regularly.
Time for a clean up @EnvAgencySE!

[EcoShowandTell @EcoShowandTell]

Open to all, a FREE virtual gardening training that would support #pollinators. Join horticulturist Deena J Kestenbaum, and @hollypringle who volunteers with @BumblebeeTrust to learn how to grow plants from BULBS. Limited spaces: https://t.co/VwNG6NccHZ

[Barnet Climate Action 💙 @BarnetClimate]

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 26 July 7-8pm via zoom
We’ll be talking about:
What should be covered in a Barnet Climate Assembly?

[SaveHendon 🍃💚🍃 @SaveHendon]

On 19 July 2022, under the new Labour Administration, Barnet Council’s Policy & Resources Committee voted to drop The Burroughs & MDX SPD – the document that served as the blueprint for the Hendon Hub development & subject of a Judicial Review challenge. https://t.co/fXOE4IGo8A

[Ben Watt @ben_watt]

Decided to launch this on today of all days.

Here's @CoolOakGroup’s plan for future habitats and eco-change at Brent Reservoir.

Saving wetlands is not just about wildlife and plants. It is about climate resilience and people.

No rain has meant low water levels and large areas of contaminated silt at Brent Reservoir. No wonder bird numbers are down. It’s a SSSI under threat.

I founded @CoolOakGroup for stuff like this. We meet with @CRTSouthEast tomorrow to insist more is done.

[EcoShowandTell @EcoShowandTell]

These sunflowers 🌻 plants represent the spirit of #Barnet’s environmental network. The seeds were harvested by Anita of #MillHillEast community garden. Distributed at Wendy’s @IncEdibleBarnet seed swap, grown by me and now planted at the Finchley Central @EnergyGardenLDN 🥰🥰

9/9: We have a strong, viable community plan, created with the expertise of neighbours who hail from a variety of specialisms. We're so excited to discuss with the new Labour administration in the hope that it's not too late to scale things down. #HandsOffOurLibrary #Hope4Hendon

[SaveHendon 🍃💚🍃 @SaveHendon]

8/9: Libraries are gateways to knowledge & culture, safe refuges, offer free access to information, places to breathe, think, dream. Contrary to theories books were over, millennials prefer print to e-books, read more, & more likely than other age groups to visit libraries...

[SaveHendon 🍃💚🍃 @SaveHendon]

7/9: @MiddlesexUni will now occupy all our civic buildings except fire station. Huge, ugly uni blocks will be crammed into 0.3 of a mile of Hendon on the edge of our two tiny conservation areas by residential roads, into a housing estate & in place of our community buildings...
