Saturday, the 30th of August saw our annual event with Les Clarke, a local expert in the study of bats. He has been assisting Westcombe Woodlands for several years. The most common species in the woodlands is the pipistrelle and occasionally Soprano Pipistrelle are recorded.

We’ll be weighing everything we harvest on the day to see how many meals we’ve grown and how much CO2 we’ve saved compared to supermarket produce! 🙂
It’s Harvest Time at CSCG! Join us on Saturday 6 September to celebrate our Urban Harvest with @capital_growth. There’ll be plenty of delicious home grown treats to sample and lots of family activities to get stuck into. Details below 👇

🤦♂️ So Labour are making ads boasting about deportations, with Reform-style branding.
Why are Labour trying to be like Farage and his mates?
If only the Government put as much effort into creating a fast, fair and dignified asylum system.

I'm getting all my tweets (2012-2024) from the bad place transferred over to Bluesky by @blueark.app. The only thing is that they lose their date stamps in the process. So they appear to be newly posted, but they aren't. Thanks for all the interactions though.

Thanks very much to the Vanbrugh Volunteers who helped with a bit of habitat management in #Greenwich on Sunday. It's to maintain a dynamic mix of habitats of varying structure, openness, and stages of growth, to maximise the benefit to wildlife. We also cleared a fair bit of litter!

1/3 I am delighted that it seems the final nail has gone into the coffin of this environmentally and financially ruinous scheme. The Tory-led county council spent £800,000 a month trying to keep it alive while cutting vital services. But we're not at the end of this saga yet.
