Many thanks to all who came along to our annual carolling under the conker tree, was a lovely Christmassy hour. Special thanks also to @tomcarradine, Frani and Fran for accompanying us!
Join us to sing traditional and family festive favourites under the conker tree on River Lawn and show that this is a useful space worthy of Village Green status. Wrap up warm and bring a torch or lantern!

Barden Residents will be meeting at the #RiverLawn end of Barden this time, so some volunteers can #litterblitz this area as part of the @TheBigHelpOut23

The #KeepRiverLawnGreen campaign was spearheaded by Mark in the early days, and would possibly be a block of flats if not for him. It would certainly have one tree less. Good luck in your re-election campaign for #JuddWard 💚🌳💚
Candidate Announcement
Mark has campaigned to save open spaces like River Lawn and protect the Green Belt around Tonbridge from unsuitable development.
His main focus is protecting services and ensuring we have a sustainable council both financially

Please share, shocking that they are attempting to fell these ancient lime trees in Wellingborough (@paulpowlesland is the barrister who helped us save our tree on #RiverLawn with pro-bono legal advice).
Congratulations to our new champions and thank you to all who came to our Conker themed protest #conkersnotconcrete #keepriverlawngreen
Come on down to #RiverLawn from 1pm to join our protest, we want to see it given #villagegreen status to protect it for future generations 🌳

Not #RiverLawn but a suitably spooky tree for Halloween 🎃

Today from 1pm, rain should have passed by then. Bring a banner to show your support for protecting this land by making it a #VillageGreen 🌳

Join us on Sunday from 1pm to show how useful a community space River Lawn can be. We would like to see it given #villagegreen status so it can be preserved from development for generations to come.

We are grateful that the proposed sale was abandoned but we do not think this is a site suitable for rewilding and want to be able to use it for community events - awarding it #villagegreen status would give it another level of protection.
We wish #Tonbridge high street had some street trees, especially on hot days like today 🥵

Trees for Streets is the national charity street tree sponsorship scheme.
We’re making it easy for people to get more trees planted in their neighbourhoods.
Simply pick a spot on our interactive map, answer a few quick questions and we'll do the rest. treesforstreets.org

Thanks to all who attended our protest event today & to @Catfordkid for taking the photos showing how difficult it is to use this community space now only the mowed edges are able to be utilised. As you will see the rewilding looks appalling (1/2) – at Tonbridge, South East
It's almost as if TMBC want to bring down the area so it isn't used; making it a future development target. We want it to be designated as a #VillageGreen, a simple process, and the status would protect the area for generations to come. #teaunderthetree #keepriverlawngreen – at Tonbridge, South East
If you're near #RiverLawn please pop by for a #teaunderthetree at 12pm. Bring your own drink or buy one from Nancy's & stand along the mown edges of the "rewilded" area to show how impractical it is for public use. – at Tonbridge, South East

Also thank you to #keepriverlawngreen members (and also two local councillors) who came down for a litter pick this morning to ensure this area is at least litter-free.

It's a busy weekend but please join us for a cuppa (maybe an iced one!) under the trees tomorrow at 12pm #teaunderthetree – at Tonbridge, South East
We are currently unable to use much of the the open space on #RiverLawn for any proper events due to the borough council suspending cutting the grass for the summer as a trial.
Join us to protest & say hello over a cup of tea on the small border still available for use.

Join us for a tea under the trees at #RiverLawn this Saturday. We'll be standing on the mowed borders to demonstrate how impractical this space is now 3/4 is being rewilded. We would like to see an extra part maintained so events can continue to be held. #keepriverlawngreen – at Tonbridge, South East

Please join us on Sunday 12th December for the return of our annual festive singalong on #RiverLawn. Children welcome accompanied by an adult. Santa hats optional but please bring a torch/lantern 🎄
Three years since chainsaws appeared but were thwarted by our protestors. Still grateful to @assuraplc for listening and @thetreelady67 for restoring it to health! 💚🌳💚
