Joe Beale 𝔹𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕠 GGCN It’s the planned work for hundreds of trees (planning portal 25/2106/TC) with removal and sometimes replacement of dead trees, ivy and more. Joe will understand the details. One query is removal of timber? Recommendations now are to leave it for wildlife if not obstructing.

Green Greenwich by my friend Candy (Candy Blackham), is out! A beautiful & highly informative book.I believe Candy is right,the Council needs an Ecology Regeneration Manager. ‘Active Friends groups will be vital in a period of diminished funding’. We must seize the opportunity!

Great book by club member Candy Blackham (Candy Blackham) and fabulous photos!

Some good news! It's very encouraging that Royal Borough of Greenwich have adopted our initiative for residents to opt out of glyphosate spraying on their street.

A single 400-year-old oak tree produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year, and may support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen.

‘Councils reported using a total of 354 tonnes of pesticides in 2024, roughly equivalent to the weight of 23 double decker buses’. How much is this costing cash-strapped councils?!! Pesticide-Free Towns Campaign pan-uk.org/pesticide-free/ #BanGlyphosate

Come and meet like-minded people who care about making Greenwich safer, cleaner, and greener! Friday 29th August 2-5pm in Greenwich Park. Details below.

It’s great to work with local residents and a special mention to the GGCN who have led the way on the #NoGlyphosate initiative. #Community

⛰️ A groundbreaking German study proved that pesticides spread much further from the field than previously believed. They detected #pesticides at every location, 63 in total. pan-europe.info/blog/pesticide…
