About this group

As Havering's only environmental group, we have been campaigning to save bees from dying out by encouraging people to plant bee-friendly flowers and to stop using pesticides.

We are trying to get Havering Council to recycle more plastics.

We have bi-annual meetings with the council to discuss biodiversity and other related issues.

Another concern of ours is to save Havering's green spaces from encroachment by so-called landfill 'improvements' and other money making ventures.

We also debate national issues such as renewable energy and lobby our local MPs.

Matters of importance to smaller, local, communities are also very much on the agenda, so that recently we have been responsible for getting extra recycling facilities on an estate in Romford which includes high rise flats.

We run stalls at local events such as at the Havering Show and the Farmers' Market at Thames Chase.
