The street where volunteers picked up 30 bags of rubbish
Briefly

In Ilford, volunteers gathered to clean up their neighborhood, successfully picking up 30 bags of rubbish and clearing 60 bags of weeds. They also planted 260 flowers and shrubs in a bid to create wildlife habitats and enhance the area’s aesthetics. This initiative is part of a broader national effort aimed at reversing declining wildlife populations, which have decreased by 20% since 1970, according to the 2023 State of Nature report. Participants included local businesses, organizations, and council members, underlining community commitment to environmental responsibility.
We all have a responsibility to do what we can to reverse the decline in wildlife. The flowers help create habitats for wildlife as well as brighten the area.
The planting was part of a nationwide programme to safeguard wildlife, which has reduced by a fifth since 1970, according to a 2023 State of Nature report.
