Thank you to everyone who joined us for the spring gathering on Saturday! ☀️🌼 Welcome to those newly joined!

It was lovely to come together as a community, have important conversations and celebrate incredible women and non-binary artists on the water.

The Tiller group are meeting Tuesday (11th - tomorrow) eve from 6.30pm at Leaside to debrief and think through next steps. All welcome whether you're just curious or want to get more involved 🩵💙💚

Here's a couple of pics for those that missed

Sunny day by the #RiverLea to film my screencast of the new #Civi6 theme framework of the same name.

A bike is parked near a calm riverbank with a tripod and camera set up for filming. In the background, there are bare trees and a blue boat. The scene is bright and sunny.

Great to see such good results for nature in this Hackney Marshes project funded through our the GLA's Grow Back Greener and Rewild London Fund grants. Also highlights the importance of how we balance the use of our waterways for nature and people bbc.in/4i1xrxR #hackneymarshes #riverlea #hackney #london #rewilding #nature

And here is the 22° halo (I think) with some #Greenway views - #Bazalgette's pumping station at Abbey Mills, the #RiverLea and as the music soared, the halo gently faded, passing #ABBAVoyage

The team behind plans for East London’s first wild swimming pond has launched a petition to save the site from a government-backed development.

The East London Waterworks Park (ELWP) campaign has been made aware of the Department for Education’s intention to submit a planning application.

The government has said it intends to use the land to build a “secure facility for children”.

"I'm making #waves, but I'm feeling a little too grey - even for a grey #heron! But how to fix that… 🤔
"Ahhh, here we go! Just the right amount of colour for me! Much better 🩵"

Yesterday I set out to do the #BigRiverWatch up the River Lea from #CanningTown to Lea Bridge - and it turns out I wasn't the only one watching! Shows the value of local #NatureReserves!

Behind it is the blurred outline of an electricity pylonA wide river flows between stone banks, with trees and bushes on one side, and blocks of flats on the other. In the distance there are skyscapers and clouds.A wide river flows with plant life visible in amongst it, and trees on both sides. Clouds fill the sky above.
