Local children celebrated the Sydenham Park Plane Tree today. They understand the importance of our majestic tree, which benefits both the physical and mental wellbeing of all our community. Thanks to Macey for the beautiful poster ❤️🌳 Photos shared with permission.

Replying to @LewishamCouncil
@LewishamCouncil is systematically felling our historic, mature street trees. Healthy, majestic trees that have stood for 100 years or more. Trees that have created havens for all manner of wildlife and organisms. Not to mention, the polluting particles they trap. Why? Money.

Shame on @LewishamCouncil wanting to fell this mature plane tree because it would cost more to keep it. Just to put a crane in place for one weekend. Have they put the eco-system services and amenity value of the tree into their calculations?

Great news! Southwark Highways is now proposing a repair of the footbridge that retains the oaks trees. They will be consulting on this in May/June with a view to the work starting in the autumn, after the bird breeding season.

Thank you again @paulpowlesland for your decisive help in fighting off the injunction. We're still waiting for @lb_southwark to put forward their alternative repair plans for the footbridge.
A year on, we review the @SaveOaks #Campaign in @wildlondon_SHW, managed by @WildLondon in which we advised the #activist intervention, blocked an #injunction and won a #TPO to #defend a pair of veteran #oaks. Please read @paulpowlesland's #casestudy here bit.ly/LFN-Footbridge-Oaks-C…

What a difference a tree makes! A year ago today the #happymantree was cut down, with 50 others, to make way for.... a building site wasteland!

Another case of @LewishamCouncil protecting and supporting insurance companies instead of the rights of #nature #trees #residents
24 hrs left to save our plane #tree - have received notice that the council will fell the 90 yr old tree on Tuesday. We have been fighting this since June - and have very little further information as to why the felling is necessary, other than the insurance company demands it.

Apologies, we didn't tag @BermondseyTrees or @SaveOaks! Doing an amazing job of holding Southwark to account. Trying to keep our borough as tree friendly as possible because things like this keep happening.. x.com/slooshbag5/status/1406…

Can't see the school for the trees? You can now! All destroyed in the space of one sad week in #Rotherhithe * Before 1&3 After 2&4 from same position. #ClimateAction @BermondseyTrees @se16 @canadawatersaf1 @Natures_Voice @Southwark_News @WorgInfo @CanadaWater1 @se16albion #SE16

Locals call it the Green, it looks like a green, it's in Peckham and there isn't already a 'Peckham Green', it's green on the map and from space. @lb_southwark builds on parks. 48 days to get Southwark to stop. @BBCNews @Frank_Molloy_UK @ffssouthwark

Our Message today: Council Homes Need Green Space. You don't build on green space. You definitely don't build private flats on council green space such as the Peckham Green on Jocelyn Street. @PeckhamVision @XRSouthwark @35percent_EAN @SthLondonPress
