A well-cared for herd of English Longhorn cows in #EppingForest being let back out to graze at Fairmead, following a quick 'MOT' with the team, where feet & horns were checked & batteries in collars replaced if needed. All passed with flying colours as healthy, happy cows.

Lea Bridge Water Works
Hackney Water Works. In the 1690s Francis Tyssen installed a waterwheel on the site of a fishery weir at Jeremy’s Ferry. The water raised was piped to a reservoir at Clapton and from there to local properties. These works fell into disrepair but in 1760

Why should #volunteers who 💚 their #RiverLea be put at risk pulling heavy fly-tipping up steep muddy banks out of contaminated water?! A pollution boom needs to be installed on @ThamesWater #LeaFloodReliefChannel with vehicle access,&maintained by HGVs&paid,trained staff #SDG8

Excellent honorary warden task yesterday @LeeValleyPark building a dead hedge round the pond, using left over willow with @tubsbilbo @kathy4546 and @no_junk_male thank you so much, looks amazing 😀

[Kit Strange @strangekit]

@London_W4 If it was, it would have been packed, with a fug of smoke, obscuring everyone... The good old days when you could still smoke with your pint...

We started 2024 as we plan to go on with fun company, outdoors, in the wondrous wilds on our #StonebridgeLock @BSBIbotany #NewYearPlantHunt. Despite distractions of ye #TottenhamMarshes endemics, fungi & a snail who was too shy to say their name,we spotted 28 species in flower ✨

On #EastHaleAllotment plotting & planning for 2024 when the ♀#ClendishMarsh Kestrel took a critter from close proximity to the dead hedge we’d built previously. This is why we do it! We ❤️ the wondrous wilds of #TottenhamMarshes
