Armley Trees

If you live on #theaviaries look out for the first edition of our new mini #zine which we've been putting through letterboxes over the weekend! #Armley #ArmleyTrees #ClimateTeaTrolley #ClimateActionLeeds #Armleyisbeautiful #LoveArmley

So it would appear for the protest on Saturday, not only do we want to stop #RawSewage and #Fracking and #AttackOnNature but also we need a #GeneralElectionNow there’s a lot to be upset about! Who’s with me ✊

Please don't cut back ivy if tidying your garden! At this time of year in the UK, its flowers are a great late season pit-stop for struggling pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths. Then the berries will feed hungry birds in winter 🐝🌿

“Nature is under attack from a raft of dangerous decisions by Government” says our chief executive @CraigBennett3. This is not okay. Contact your MP to ask about these serious and potentially catastrophic decisions. #DefendNature wtru.st/DefendNatureTw…

I am heartbroken to see the awful damage to the new playground at #Armley Park. We have asked for the site to be cleared immediately so that it is safe for families to use. If anyone has any information about who is responsible for this damage, please contact the police.

It's Apple Day! Pop down between 11am and 3pm for lots of family-friendly apple-based fun. The community cafe, garden and shop will be open too. #appleday #family friendly #kirkstall #free

A protest in #leeds to #endSewagePollution 💩 @jamiehanley @JaneAitchison @petercarlill @CalFarCraig @alexsobel @RachelReevesMP @johngarvani @CllrWalshaw

Here's a little more detail on why we're worried about what government is up to 3/

Last Friday, government's 'mini-budget' launched an attack on planning & the environment. We're asking supporters to email their MP saying no to the deregulation agenda and yes to community participation & putting the environment at the heart of policy. 1/

Sheffield Street Trees inquiry - recordings now available: You can find a link to it here - sheffield.public-i.tv/core/portal/we… sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-coun… - This is along with recordings of the other hearings held so far & details of the other upcoming hearings.

Just 3% of our wildflower meadows are left. RT if you think we should give bumblebees a fighting chance by growing more wildflowers in our gardens, communities and green spaces, and not using pesticides and weedkillers 🐝

Make no mistake - we are also incredibly angry. We stand with @RSPBEngland in calling out the unprecedented attack on nature launched by UK Government over the last few days. We’ll be challenging this together and asking for our supporters to stand with us.

#southbank #LEEDS is shaping up to be a generational disaster that solves none of the challenges that the city faces High carbon buildings Speculative development Corporate control High land values Biodiversity loss Social division

Street trees 🌳 protect 🛡 us from the effects of a changing climate🥵 They keep our streets cooler😎. They stand up better to ⛈ heavy rain. They put that protection exactly📍where it is needed. We have the opportunity to plant an urban forest 🌳 🌳 🌳 in our towns and cities 🏘

Environmentalists claim councils are wasting public money with failed tree-planting initiatives so they can be “seen to be doing something” about the climate crisis. trib.al/B1jG1Ap

6,000 trees were planted at this site in England, but more than 90 percent have now died. Environmentalists claim councils are wasting public money with failed tree planting schemes, all so they’re “seen to be doing something” about the climate crisis. @sophiasgaler reports.

🌧Climate change is a direct driver of change that is increasingly exacerbating the impact of other drivers on #nature and human well-being. #Biodiversity loss and #ClimateChange need to be tackled together! 🦋☁️ Find more messages: ipbes.net/global-assessm… @ipbes
