They say it never rains but it pours. This week at Hollybush it has been raining inside as the lack of heating from the broken boiler means pipes burst in the loft and water cascaded down through the building. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/tcv-hollyb...

🌿Introducing TCV’s Strategy 2025–2030: Better Nature for All 🌿 TCV's new 5-year strategy focuses on connecting people together to protect and restore nature, delivering lasting benefits for both. We believe that when nature thrives, so do people - and we’re taking bold steps to make that happen.

30 by 30 also needs to be a conversation for regional Combined Authority areas too. What would this look like? What role could urban forests and National Park cities play? What part of this could be de-paving, de-contaminating? We have hardly started to wrestle with these questions
