@HangletonSchool Would it be possible for us to post these photos on our website to promote school involvement?

Y5 @HangletonSchool completed a litterpick today at Greenleas Park, in collaboration with @BenfieldValley. We were super proud of all the children's efforts!

What a spectacular afternoon to be Benfield Valley Woods #benfieldvalleynaturereserve #woodlandwalk #woodlandsun

Today we finished clearing mud and vegetation from one of #BenfieldValley access paths. Thank you to our #volunteers for joining us to make this a safe and accessible path for all! #community #naturereserve #benfieldvalleyproject #saveourgreenspace

Only 3% of England is properly protected #ForNature, according to new @WCL_News research.   We need 10X more by 2030 to keep the #30x30 promise and stop the decline of #wildlife. With the state of politics, it’s important to make our voices heard.   wcl.org.uk/2022-progress-…

@MeganMcCubbin @WCL_News We're fighting to protect our urban green spaces includimg Benfield Valley Nature Reserve. But we desperately need help fighting our corrupt councils decision to rip out our largest urban woodland in B&H in favour of 100 dwellings on our last green lung. Please help!

@ChrisGPackham @XRebellionUK Our urban fringe green spaces in Brighton and Hove are being built on in the name of 'protection'! Only adding to our problems today rather than solving them! We could use all the help we can get fighting our corrupt councillors who wouldn't allow the community to have a say.

The sun is shining and I’m out fighting for local green belt - the last green lung of Brighton and Hove 🤞🏼#savebenfieldvalley @BenfieldValley #brighton #hove

@ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @michaelastracha please help us fight this decision!!!!

Thank you @BHDemocracyNews for sharing our story. We are outraged and disgusted by the major of the councillors. When the community isn't allowed to speak, corruption is in the council is clear. brightonandhovenews.org/2022/10/21/cou…

Thank you to everyone who came yesterday. Despite our efforts #CityPlanPart2 has been approved with no amendments. But we're still going to #fight and we're not going to stop. Thank you for all your support and your continued support. Best wishes The BVP Family x #protest

I'm so sad about this. We're at a critical point in the climate crisis, when ALL green belt should be protected for carbon storage and wildlife habitat. Meanwhile one in 37 homes in Brighton and Hove is empty 🤦‍♀️ brightonandhovenews.org/2022/10/21/cou… @BHDemocracyNews @BenfieldValley

@michaelastracha Wonderful bear impression! We are trying to stop the destruction of our nature reserve and could really use some help with getting the word out. Best wishes and kindest regards, Kayla

Filming in Kars in Turkey today. Quiz Tuesday. What am I doing an impression of?

Almost 200 people turned out to support the campaign to save Benfield Valley from housing despite the rain yesterday. And they plan to gather outside #Hove Town Hall on Thursday before a council meeting where the future of the valley is on the agenda ... brightonandhovenews.org/2022/10/17/cam…
