Let’s make sure it’s not their last May #SaveRyebankFields

Yes - this is not about loss of ‘a view’ or ‘overcrowding’. It’s about the loss of a place that’s so important to 100s of not 1000s who spend time here regularly, some daily. For many it’s our church, our community centre, our playground, our youth club, our garden. For some, a home 🦋🐝🐸🦊🐞🦔

100 years ago, this rewilded urban greenfield space was claypits with only an ancient ditch, a row of magnificent Black Poplars, and a hedgerow. Please join our campaign and object to #MMU plans to build on this special beloved place #RewildingTogether www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/object-now/

Ooh which is yours @minimastersart.bsky.social? They’re all beautiful 🥹 and each square full of love and our histories and connection with the land. #Reciprocity @righttoroam.bsky.social we think you’ll understand..

Our own #Imbolc ceremony at Ryebank Fields - hoping Brighid will spread her cloak and protect our #Aspen and the surrounding grasslands and woodlands from the #ManMetUni bulldozers 🤍

Beautiful #Imbolc celebration in our #Aspen Grove this evening ✨ poetry, readings and music from 🇯🇵 to 🇮🇪
The #community and #culture of Ryebank Fields are a part of why we can and do fight so hard to save them from the bulldozers. We have a relationship with this land 🤍#WildService #RightToRoam

In South Manchester, we have a nature shortage - not a housing land shortage
