Let's be aware and help our prickly little friends...and other wild life.

Green spaces are good, do good and need to be protected for good. They are not pleasant nice-to-haves to be taken for granted - they are the green hearts of our communities.

Parks are good for people and for the planet. Proven to help people stay physically and mentally well; they are places where we can all move, breathe, run and play. They are an important tool to drive social cohesion, combat loneliness and build community spirit.

Our beautiful Stray is Harrogate's green lung and gives everyone somewhere to exercise plus peace and tranquillity too.

Your views are important, there is a potential threat of further loss of trees Please take part in the survey below regarding the Pinewoods. Many thanks harrogatedistrictconsensus.org/.../pinewoods.…

In showcasing the #Harrogatedistrict's beautiful gardens we're promoting longer visits to our destination, encouraging garden lovers to explore here further & come back again to discover more. We're delighted to be at RHS Harlow Carr's flower show this week as #VisitHarrogate🌺😊

WATCH: the moment walkers filmed the trees being destroyed buff.ly/3btCv0w

This is how some local youths decided to ‘celebrate’ this week. By consciously and savagely destroying cherry trees on the Stray. Trees planted in loving memory of 2 babies and other dear friends. Perhaps they can be made to atone for their destruction & the distress caused.

A generous and warm hearted man, an example to many,especially those who spend their lives destroying rather than enhancing our Stray. thestrayferret.co.uk/stray-trees-va…

Harrogate's Stray...where there will forever be a place for this gentle man: 'Asked where he was happiest, he said: “It may seem obvious but just sitting on the Stray under a tree.”' thestrayferret.co.uk/obituary-malco…

Great to see the sunshine bringing out those who love to play on the Stray. A fun game of volleyball being played there tonight!

A beautiful August dawn on the Stray

Deepest condolences to His Majesty the King and members of the Royal Family on the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. May she rest in peace.

A very evocative passage about our Stray ..........

How good to see someone enjoying what is indeed our 'extraordinary Stray'.

The importance of green spaces on children's development. Another wonderful thing about our wonderful Stray

Making a #NewYearsResolution? How about resolving to spend more time outdoors in your local green spaces in 2023! Just a short amount of time in your local park each day will help you feel happier and healthier.

We are so fortunate in Harrogate, wonderful open space on our Stray plus the Valley gardens and Harlow Carr.

At the closing of the the longest day my thoughts are with my father. Mou Fei arjun.k #RememberingDDay
