ATTENTION - anyone want to lift the spirits of a disheartened greenspace volunteer group? 🙏 Pls give these lovely folk a follow. We’ve all had low points, but together we help & gain strength. Keep sharing on here Forus Tree! 🌳.
Clearly very little interest on #twitter for what we do and minimal support for us here. Prob time to move on and stop posting on here. Lots of work to crack on with in the real world while the world burns and our leaders sit idle applauding themselves for achieving sweet nothing

Freedom of information request reveals Govt ministers rejected pledge for everyone in UK to live 15 mins from a green space 😥🌳.
Tories shelve pledge for everyone in UK to live 15 minutes from a green space. They’ve also scrapped plans to make the target for access legally binding. Can’t have people enjoying nature; they might start to fight for it, and then where would we be?
