- In 2024, street reps surveyed Nevill residents on the use of glyphosate
- 95% supported hand-weeding instead of council spraying with glyphosate, which indiscriminately kills plant-life and is harmful to bees and bio-diversity
- With this support ESCC agreed that we can keep our streets weed-free by hand-weeding
Special Guest Professor Dave Goulson will be joining us on the Green
- Expert in bee ecology and ambassador for the UK Wildlife Trusts
- Author of seven books, including Sunday Times bestsellers A Sting in the Tale and Silent Earth
- Named by BBC Wildlife magazine as one of the top 50 most influential people in conservation
- Bring a cup if coming for the post-weeding social cuppa on the Green – and cake if you fancy baking!
