Park to Valentines Park
A charity that protects London’s countryside
is asking local residents to help identify new
woodland planting sites across Redbridge.
“We plan to create a tree ring circling London,
delivering a continuous community forest
around the capital. The first step is identifying
local areas that could be planted with new
trees. One example already identified is land
between Wanstead Park and Valentines Park,
especially the overgrown spaces adjacent
to the River Roding,” said a spokesperson for
CPRE London. Visit wnstd.com/cpre
A consultation by the City of London
Corporation about its new five-year corporate
plan is open until 16 October. “This plan
will determine the scale and priority of
decisions relating to resource allocation for
the foreseeable future. It is important local
stakeholders have their voice heard, and I
encourage as many people as possible to
participate,” said Ben Murphy, Chairman of the
Epping Forest and Commons Committee. The
Corporation manages Wanstead Park as part
of Epping Forest. Visit wnstd.com/clp
