@cerysmatthews.bsky.social thanks for featuring Ruth Jackson ahead of #TownPlanningDay …“Who Killed Clayton Square” by Shack was formative to me as a trainee planner in Liverpool in the 90s (I also played SimCity 😅) Planning is mostly about communities, that’s why we campaign to #SaveRyebankFields.
ITS HERE! 🎬🍿 This ‘heartwarming and urgent’ documentary about the fight to #SaveRyebankFields is now available to watch in the comfort of your own home 🛋️ 🪺 Use the QR code, or link in comments. Filmed ahead of the #PlanningAndInfrastructureBill it foreshadows many of the issues raised by it 💚

100 years ago, this rewilded urban greenfield space was claypits with only an ancient ditch, a row of magnificent Black Poplars, and a hedgerow. Please join our campaign and object to #MMU plans to build on this special beloved place #RewildingTogether www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/object-now/
Ooh which is yours @minimastersart.bsky.social? They’re all beautiful 🥹 and each square full of love and our histories and connection with the land. #Reciprocity @righttoroam.bsky.social we think you’ll understand..

We have more than a 100 oaks, and many of them will be a quarter of a century old this year. Will they make it to a century? Not if Manchester City Council let ManMetUni and Step Places have their way 💔 #saveryebankfields www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/features/mil...

Little Green Space@lgspace.bsky.social · 2y agoA single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳
