The Mayor is proud to be supporting @WGHaggerston to help make London greener 💚
Fresh, new habitat refuges for small mammals and other wildlife on Hackney Marshes grassland. These safe zones form stepping stones, part of the new ecological connectivity between the Old Lea and the Lea Navigation, the aim of this year’s project.

@ianphillipswildlife drew on decades of experience to carefully choose & arrange material so beautifully to form multiple ecological niches. Thanks @NinaHundt and vols who helped make this happen. @MayorofLondon #rewildlondon funds & @HackneyCouncil support makes it possible – at Hackney, London

Why are we still spraying glyphosate, a probable carcinogen, in Hackney in 2024 in the midst of a biodiversity crisis? This was in De Beauvoir Square. #pesticidefree #naturerecovery #biodiversitycrisis

Replying to @PeterFox61
Poppycock. It’s one of our most important native wild flowers and supports a vast array of pollinators. There’s no requirement to control it and proven cases of harm to livestock are exceptionally rare. Animals avoid it. Proper fact checking prevents public ridicule!

Another reason to avoid mass expanses of uninterrupted hard standing around new developments

Unfortunately grounds maintenance by HA contractors so often reflects no interest in environmental and biodiversity concerns. Hacking back shrubs & trees, often at worst time of year for breeding birds, and use of “hard cut” to minimise future maint. Same at my @PeabodyLDN block

So depressing. This is not acceptable @LQHomesMatter: homes for wildlife matter too, especially during an ecological emergency!
