Delighted to welcome a couple of new #volunteers this week! We put them both to work clearing cut material off the fen. Hopefully they weren't put off and will come back next week! #OxfordshireFens #OX3

@exitthelemming Ourselves @NatFedParks & many others like @FieldsInTrust continue to campaign for statutory greenspace access. Volunteers up & down the country help maintain what we have & campaign to save those under threat. Everyone deserves to feel the benefits for mental & physical health.

The benefits of access to green space are well-publicised. The lack of access is also known to be harmful, especially to children. Which makes the Government’s quiet dropping of their plans to make access to green space legally binding even more puzzling theguardian.com/environment/20…

“…Scientists found that the children living in places with 20-25% more natural areas had increased bone strength that was equivalent to half a year’s natural growth.” Children living near green spaces ‘have stronger bones’ theguardian.com/environment/20…

Our final event of the year went out with a bang .. a huge success .. very few of these people had ever made a wreath before and just look at the results 👏👏👏. The @Friendly_Bench made the perfect venue and the weather was kind to us. Happy Christmas and all the best for 2024.

ATTENTION - anyone want to lift the spirits of a disheartened greenspace volunteer group? 🙏 Pls give these lovely folk a follow. We’ve all had low points, but together we help & gain strength. Keep sharing on here Forus Tree! 🌳
Forus Tree @forustree.bsky.social@forus_tree

Clearly very little interest on #twitter for what we do and minimal support for us here. Prob time to move on and stop posting on here. Lots of work to crack on with in the real world while the world burns and our leaders sit idle applauding themselves for achieving sweet nothing
