Harrow Biodiversity & Environment

Is all food waste incinerated or does some go to make green waste compost?

@woodmeadowtrust What type of box do they need? I've got a stack of timber for boxes and really need to work on this too!

Great morning building bird boxes with the volunteers. We hope to attract Spotted Flycatcher so watch this space 🐦

City living children with access to green space and parks more likely to have better lung function - another study underlines the health giving role of green spaces enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/national/…

Important intervention @WealdstoneBrook @HarrowGreens @FriendsHarrow @BrentGreens

@LondonNPC @markcridge Good luck, and look forward to meeting you soon.

A big day for the London National Park City. We're excited to introduce our first Executive Director @markcridge who joined us this week. He's here to work with our Ranger community to make London greener, healthier and wilder. #nationalparkcity #londonnpc nationalparkcity.london/meet-our-first…

We have new #cycling courses for Learn to Ride and Confidence Builder at #Harrow Civic Centre thanks to @harrow_council this summer, all taught by @BritishCycling qualified coaches; sign up here, bike hire available: club.spond.com/landing/course…

Me too! Much better today but still so tired. Hope you recover fully very soon. The garden needing work has kept me going!!

@WembleyMatters I've informed the council of misconnections their contractors made in council properties and they don't care. Builders, council, homeowners do what they want and nobody does anything.

@HeathrowBio I wonder what it's after there! A gorgeous bird, never seen one in this country.

Much excitement today as a Ring Ouzel decided to drop into one of the Bio Sites. They migrate from Africa / S Europe each spring to nest on Moorland. Here is a dreadful video of it 😆 #Birding #Heathrow #Migration2022

This week, Beavers returned to London after 400 years. It makes me very hopeful for the future of the capital’s wildlife, and shows what rewilding we can achieve in London. I cannot wait to see them in Ealing: @WildlifeEaling and @CitizenZoo are a dream team!

The magnifcant redwoods in lovely sunshine at Old Redding harrowncf.org/OROS_home.html today. Volunteers worked clearing invasive plants from Gilbert's Lake - thanks everyone!

Richmond Gardens has its own Magic Roundabout, created by residents with a little help from friends. @ Stanmore instagram.com/p/CbD-jy2tdpq/…

This has to stop. We need better protection for our hedgerows

There was a scheme that celebrates the Queen's Jubilee year that @Kaulofthewilduk was heading up, to provide 70 boxes to schools. It's a bit late now to be putting up boxes. I prefer to get them in place early in the winter as many birds scout out sites well before nesting.

Crazy weather today. Hail storm with thunder and lightning ⚡️. Not the best day to be outside
