The Up the Allotments! Harvest party was super fun this past weekend. How cute is the Loop Labs pie? Love it! @eleanorpearce #eastsidecommunityheritage
Please come along and join us for the exhibition opening of Up the Allotments! This Thursday 3rd October, 5:30-7:30pm at East Ham Library. Community creativity at its finest! :)
We’re heartbroken. Nicky Gavron was Loop Labs’ Founder and Chairperson. She was a true visionary and force for good throughout her life. Our deep condolences to her family and loved ones. RIP dear Nicky.
The sun shone for the launch of Up the Allotments! Our workshop series being held at Manor Park Community Garden and Reynolds Avenue Allotments. The Dig for Victory workshop was followed by lunch, chatting and much merriment. This Saturday 1st June at 10am is the next instalment!

'It’s brilliant to see this research confirming that trees are literal life-savers, protecting city-dwellers against the impacts of heatwaves in urban areas. This should spur us all on to expand our urban forests as a key action to adapt to a warmer future climate. We hope that policy-makers and city planners take note!' - Jessica Allan, Science & Action Research Manager

Do you know where London’s first lemon tree growing on the street can be seen? Garden Walk, Shoreditch of course!
🍋📖Look out for lemons, and a new edition of London’s Street Trees, later this year.
Thanks @hackneycouncil and @TM_Hackney for careful planting today.

It's been brilliant to have been involved with Newham and Ealing on the Mayor of London's Breaking Ground Project. Well done to all the volunteers and communities doing their bit to improve their their neighbourhoods: youtube.com/watch?v=7JJVAfX0…… #breakingground #mayoroflondon
The Pink Plaque project has honoured our extraordinary Chairwoman, Nicky Gavron, at Jackson's Lane in Highgate last week. Nicky has devoted much of her life to public service, particularly so in London - huge congratulations Nicky! @nickygavron @highgatefest1 @Jacksonslane

ALT Two streets, very similar house, one tree-lined, one with no trees. A stark difference.

🤔 Why can’t the government stop the use of peat for horticulture?
"If the twin crises of nature and climate are to be addressed, the government must change its approach to protecting peatlands", argues @WildlifeTrusts' @ailis_watt in our latest blog 👇

Walkabout in sunny E15 today with Suzie, Billie and Joana. Great to see what the local community is doing to help make the area cleaner and greener! @hubbubUK @LDN_environment @NewhamLondon #breakingground #parkvillageoasis

"...lower-income areas have far fewer trees than wealthier ones." Nearly half of English neighbourhoods ‘have less than 10% tree cover’ theguardian.com/environment/…

My kids would like to say a sincere thank U to all that stayed to hear them perform at #breatheEllaevent on the 10th anniversary of their Ella’s passing. They’re overwhelmed so many of you came & didn’t leave when they started singing. They had reoccurring nightmares about that😂
70 years on from the Great Smog, things have improved, but there's much more to be done. london.gov.uk/media-centre/m…

Toxic air pollution is a killer.
Yet the Government has missed the latest legally binding deadline to set new air quality targets.
Together with @AlzResearchUK @AsthmaLungUK @CR_UK @TheBHF
@BenGoldsmith, I'm calling on the Govt to step up and save lives. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…
