We need social housing in Haringey but this design is grim. Surely they can do better than this? https://t.co/wm0ZgmbpDU

The Haringey Council scheme is part of its wider efforts to build 3,000 social homes across the borough

August 16th was World Honey Bee Day, so we thought we'd share some clips of our bee-keeper, Helen from Highgate Honey, caring for our Honey bees here in Golders Hill Park. 🐝 Honey bees are vital for the health of our ecosystems and diversity of our plant life! 🧡🌱

The post @krankbrother dance party damage is the worst we've ever seen it @FinsburyParkLdn Trees chopped, soil desiccated, grass obliterated, wildflower areas trampled and gone. It's an ecological dead zone. It should be ILLEGAL to do this to a public park. Do you agree?

As summer progresses hedgerows are bursting with ripening berries! 🫐 Why not swap a fence for a fruiting, flowering hedge? It’s a beautiful way to feed and shelter birds, insects, and other wildlife all year round. Ready to grow a wildlife haven? 👉 https://t.co/5VQQvde3lf

Amazing win from family in the fight against insurers blaming trees 4 subsidence.This lazy corrupt system needs urgent legal change! @haringeycouncil are felling 5 trees cos of claims now! @allianzuknews @Allianz @LV_Insurance involved 👇. @The_ABI_UK @InsuranceTimes_ @ijournal
Superb work by this family: not only saving their beautiful veteran oak, but also pushing back on the racket of insurance companies unnecessarily demanding to fell trees for profit. Hopefully this will set something of a precedent & also inspire others around the country to save

Financially unviable? Another developer scores planning green light BEFORE claiming it’s too costly to do all of the affordable housing:

We are normally trees/ecology here but a 3rd runway at Heathrow is madness. It will result in millions more tonnes of emissions, wipe villages off the map and destroy thousands of trees and green spaces. We are a small nature-depleted country. Let the people vote. @Keir_Starmer
Just to give you some idea of the impact of Heathrow’s plans for a 3rd runway, this is Harmondsworth village, one of the 4 Heathrow villages that will be wiped off the face of the earth by Heathrow.15,000 people will lose their homes & community to profit a foreign owned company.

We were thrilled to donate some fallen oak to our friends at @ZSLlondonzoo! 🌳 Look out for the branches being used as perches by the magnificent Rüppell’s Griffon vultures—like Egbert 🦅—part of the Zoo’s vital breeding programme. A little piece of Highgate Wood lives on!

Bravo to the finalists @RIBA Reinvention Award👏 Great to see such a variety of buildings reused - from 1930s telephone exchange by @ArchitypeUK & @FeildenMawson to rural barns by @KanerOlette_Arc - and @HBA_London's Sheerness Dockyard Church which began as a SAVE case 15yrs ago
We've announced the shortlist for the Reinvention Award 2025, celebrating the creative reuse of buildings. Sponsored by @oscaracoustics ➡️ Explore the shortlisted projects: https://t.co/6hcrrP1jHk

The artist and photographer Laszlo Moholy-Nagy was born on this day in 1895. He taught at the Bauhaus, but like many of his contemporaries he ended up fleeing the Nazi rise to power, ending up in London in 1935 1/7 🧵
