#naturetownsandcities
It’s been just over a week since we brought Nature Towns and Cities to UK Parliament and we’re still buzzing. Cross-party backing made one thing clear; nature shouldn’t depend on your postcode. It should be part of daily life for everyone, everywhere. Let’s make it happen.

Great to see #NatureTownsandCities funding ambitious green space projects across the UK, including two in London:
Ealing: a new Regional Park & heritage trail to connect nature & reduce flood risk
