At this pretty site, find creative inspiration to restore England’s green spaces. If you’re passionate about nature and the planet, animal welfare, seaside piers, community shops, independent pubs, litter-free streets, fair politics and independent media – put the kettle on, and stay awhile!
Keywords for this site are nature, kindness, planet – and community. That’s where everything happens. Grassroots level – bottom up change. Think of independent shops, wildlife rescuers, dog-walking volunteers, local councillors, credit unions, community orchards and free fair media.
Forget celebrities and obsession with the monarchy. Let’s reserve our wonder for hearing the buzz of a bumble bee pollinating a flower, watching a murmuration of starlings overhead, or sight of a previously-endangered osprey bird catching fish on the lake. Let’s transform from passive ‘residents’ owned by media and government, into active stewards of our environment.
Ecological restoration isn’t government schemes or celebrity fundraisers. It’s grassroots change. Stop buying junk food, avoid vapid TV, and ignore dishonest politicians. Change happens peacefully, bringing everyone along.
It’s time to step up, get involved – and shape the future we all want. Walks in leafy parks or on clean beaches, enjoying fresh air and birdsong, saving our plants and native wildlife – and living what ecological writer Satish Kumar calls a life of Soil, Soul and Society.
