Green London: Send a Local Nature Photo to Your MP


I sent a picture of my favourite park as a postcard to my MP. It wasn't just a random thing - the RSPB website has a crafty project at the moment that lets you turn a favourite nature photo into a postcard, then write a message and send it to your local Member of Parliament. As it says on the site:

"This is all about celebrating the nature that’s nearest to you. It could be your local park, a street tree, ‘your’ garden birds – or anything else. It’s the place nearest to you that brings you that daily joy that puts a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Show your MP the place that lifts your spirits, and inspire them to help protect it."

The image at the top is a screen shot of the RSPB page and shows how easy it is to do. As you can see, the park near to where I live that I most love is Crystal Palace, in South London. The photo is one I took a couple of years ago and shows a ribbon of wildflowers stretching into the distance. 

I'm keen to do all I can to preserve London's green spaces for wildlife and humans. Going for a walk in nature is good for the mind and body, while trees and plants help keep the air clean.

Cast Your Vote Too!

Today, 7 May 2026, I'll be going to vote in the local elections. All London borough councillor seats are up for appointment. I'll be making sure I vote for those individuals who are most likely to support the amenities in my area, including green spaces. If you are in a position to vote, please go out and do so too.

Green London

I've been blogging regularly about London's green spaces in an effort to dispel a prevalent myth in the pagan community that it's just all concrete. Even in the City, which is of course heavily built up, there are still places where nature thrives, while Greater London has huge areas of woods, commons, parks and beautiful gardens.
