Thank you for saying something. Barbecues are not allowed in Brockwell Park. On Streatham Common a tree caught fire recently from a barbecue and has to be chopped down. Sad @Brockwell_Hall @BrockwellFriend @hernehillforum https://twitter.com/misophonenft/status/1279127571981099010

@Brockwell_Hall @Rookery100 @sccoopstreatham @lambeth_council A bbq last week was burning below Brockwell's Elizabethan tree. I challenged. He said "I know, but the kids haven't eaten". Sigh.

It's #NationalMeadowsDay!
Sadly it is a hard truth that the UK has lost 97% of its native wildflower meadows since the Second World War. These amazing, biodiverse habitats support a staggering amount of rare plants, insects and bird life and act as a valuable carbon store

I was close to tears this morning on #WandsworthCommon to find so much broken glass and rubbish amongst the bushes. Who brought these people up to be so antisocial? Hazardous waste reported to @wandbc
