Fantastic coverage in today's Guardian about our London Tree Ring Project! We're aiming to create a continuous belt of woodland, orchards and hedgerows encircling Greater London for people and wildlife. #GreenSpaces #LondonTreeRing @cprecountryside.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We strongly object to development on #Havering’s #GreenBelt behind Wingletye Lane and Benets Road. The fields are rich in #Wildlife and play a vital role in separating Hornchurch from Upminster and preventing #UrbanSprawl. Plenty of #Brownfield land that could be used instead!
