Itโ€™s easy to forget just how dangerous and hostile this junction used to be for anyone choosing to walk, wheel or cycle. #DulwichSquare is thankfully now transformed and enables so much healthy #activetravel. #ThrowbackThursday 1/2

Wetlands donโ€™t care which direction the rain comes from โš ๏ธ They act as natural sponges and absorb excess rainwater, releasing it slowly rater than flooding. We need more of these habitats to protect our communities from flood damage.

Urban greening in action. Bland & boring architecture is the norm these days, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Same buildings, different owners. One didn't bother much, the other demonstrates what a difference a few shrubs & trees can make. Where would you prefer to live &

We've been helping make rainwater gardens to reduce flood risk in Lewisham schools identified on Department for Education's top 5% #flood risk list! ๐ŸŒโ˜”๏ธ The project also aims to reduce heat stress in the playgrounds while bringing joy to the children in their new green spaces. ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›๐Ÿฅณ

Definitely a good idea! ๐Ÿ’ก We have tree guardians who commit to water new street #trees for the first three years and audit their trees annually. We also have a maintenance/treecare team who monitor the health of our trees. ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿค’๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ™Œ#environment

So well done! We are so lucky to have you as a partner organisation. Huge thanks to all the volunteers who keep our trees thriving. The planting is the east bit!

We have a 97% survival rate because we will only plant trees where we have a commitment to water regularly from someone living or working close by. This is essential!
