Our collaboration with GrowN22 is already making a meaningful impact. From creating pollinator-friendly gardens to maintaining Hackney Council parklets with wildlife-friendly practices, we’re turning ideas into action. 💚 Here’s how we’re doing it: ecoactive.org.uk/blog/growing-t…

I'm leaving X and going to #Bluesky in search of hope. I hope to see you there.

Here's a report from Progress Playbook who spoke to National Park City Mark on the National Park City movement's ambitions for 2025. Following London in 2019 and Adelaide in 2019, we'll be joined by Breda and Chattanooga who are both set to join early next year. buff.ly/3Z8a4vG

Thank you to 117 people of all ages who have planted 5000 English bluebell bulbs over the last six weeks on Millfields park for the Hackney Buzzline. Can't wait for spring.

We're thrilled to have formed an art partnership with Hackney Mosaic. Project founder Tessa Hunkin tells how volunteers are making a trail of beautiful bee and butterfly mosaics along the #HackneyBuzzline. We've installed the first pair of mosaics Kingsmead School E9 primary school.

Jamal, Mia, Cindy, and Najat joined the #HackneyBuzzline ecoteam Kingsmead School E9 school. Head teacher Evelyn Deeney asks them what they're doing for pollinators, why we need bees and butterflies, and how they chose two beautiful mosaics for their school, made by Hackney Mosaic.

Get your garden on the Hackney Buzzline!

We're so excited that Greening Kampala City Campaign is partnering with ecoACTIVE to fly the Hackney Buzzline idea 4000 miles away. Uganda is a country rich in bees and butterflies. We need to create a better future for pollinators all over the world.

We've made a nursery for mining bees in a new pollinator garden on the Hackney Buzzline. We've selected substrates based on six years of rigorous research into the preferences of ground nesting bees by Dr. Tsiolis from Pollinating London Together. We build habitats out of the best science.

#WalthamForest Council plans a swathe of new tower blocks, 18-30 storeys high, all around the marshes. So, how safe are its current (much lower) towers? The disturbing truth just revealed Private Eye Magazine #StopTheBlocks

Worrying signs from Starmer's speech that the Government is playing to the 'nature is woke' gallery and will sacrifice environmental protections for infrastructure development. When push comes to shove, it's always nature that gets the shove and the biodiversity crisis deepens.

Big flaw with Labour's 1.5m new homes – house-builders can't be trusted to add biodiversity, as this important Wild Justice study reveals: theguardian.com/environment/20… Simple solution: funding for proper inspection/enforcement/penalties.

I've been awarded the title of Honorary Research Fellow at Queen Mary University of London Queen Mary University of London. The position fits in the QMUL School of Geography Nature and Society theme. For the next three years, we'll be collaborating on research into ecosocial networks on the Hackney Buzzline.

Excitement is already in the air—4,000 miles and counting! We’re moving the Hackney Buzzline ecoACTIVE to Kampala to champion some of the most underappreciated yet vital pollinators: bees and butterflies. Ladies and Gentlemen,join us to instil life in the Kampala Buzzline

We've got a new electric cargo bike for Xmas. The bike provides sustainable transport on the Hackney Buzzline. We're also using it to manage Hackney Council street parklets as pollinator havens, working with GrowN22. Thanks to Zero Emissions Network and The National Lottery Heritage Fund for funding.

Happy New Year World. Love from London. Massive thanks to those who travelled thousands of miles to take part in the British tradition of doing crazy stuff in atrocious weather! @Lnydp Carnaval del Pueblo #LNYDP

NFA Partners with Marafiki Initiative to Promote Urban Tree Restoration in KCCA.
