April Meeting

In the fourth meeting of the Greening Network, we discussed opportunities for community action as we come out of lockdown and ways in which we can learn from each other about the environment. Here’s a brief overview:

• We should recruit council officers and independent environmentalists to talk about what’s going on in their area of expertise, in future meetings
• We can host walks and training opportunities to learn about biodiversity and wildlife in the area
• We want to know more about what has already been done, e.g., about the Air Quality Action Plan and tree planting that took place last year, amounting to almost 40,000 trees
• How do we green the borough through planning? We need to get Be First involved early on and understand how we can influence decisions
• We should all keep sharing good practice and projects going on via this project page and the Facebook group
• We hope to hold our first in-person next month – watch this space!
