National Park City
What does it mean? The site is very unclear
Partly it remains to be seen!
I had a small part in the campaigning for this a couple of years ago, so it’s wonderful that it’s finally happening. It was forced into existence by a friend of a friend called Dan Raven-Ellison. A great example of how singular focus and drive can bring about a change
We’ve been talking about greening up the Makerspace garden, the launch of London as a National Park City might be a great focus for this?
Essentially seeing London’s individual areas of green, and green related, as a whole.
In terms of a conceptual thing that can be referred to.
Referred to by organisations or individuals for funding, planning, events, conversationally, etc.
An equivalent might be the Peak District.
It’s got a map now. I’ve got a spare one that I could leave in the space.
It’s recognised by the National Trust.
And finally it’s official launch is this summer with lots of activities happening.
