Honey bees are vital for the health of our ecosystems and diversity of our plant life! 🧡🌱
The post @krankbrother dance party damage is the worst we've ever seen it @FinsburyParkLdn Trees chopped, soil desiccated, grass obliterated, wildflower areas trampled and gone. It's an ecological dead zone.
It should be ILLEGAL to do this to a public park.
Do you agree?
Great to see @BarbicanCentre taking care to clean Dorothy Annan's wonderful ceramic mural that they have homed since Goldman Sachs wanted to destroy it when redeveloping Fleet Building but saved thanks to @C20Society. Only 3 of her public murals survive a thread
