If every follower of ours gave a tenner, this would be fully funded. It would improve the wildlife corridor north of Hackney Marsh, and we hope draw people away from swimming in the polluted but ecologically sensitive waters of the Lea.
Help us take the first step towards realising our vision for the East London Waterworks Park, a place for #wildswimming and a place where people learn to live harmoniously with #nature. Find out more/ donate here: spacehive.com/east-london-wa… #ELWP

A great initiative in #StKatherinesDock and it's obviously effective. I would love to see these installed in #PoplarDock and #BlackwallBasin and #Southquay and #MillwallDocks @CanalRiverTrust #litterpollution

We ask that @sainsburys #LowHall #Walthamstow E4 8ST clear the #plastic gloves, originating from the petrol station, that are polluting the #RiverChing & find an alternative to this unnecessary misuse of #singleuseplastic #StateOfNature #HealthyRivers #turnofftheplastictap
