Camley St Nature Reserve December 23, 2006
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Camden, Environment , trackbackI had a surprise call from Adrian Oliver, one of Camden’s new Green councillors, the other day, asking me if I’d be prepared to be on the steering group for a little gem about a mile from here, the Camley St Nature Reserve. Apparently the Council, which provides funding, gets to nominate someone, and the post was allocated to the Greens.
Its a wonderful example of local community involvement in an environmentally positive way, so ideal for Green involvement. Apparently it was started in the late eighties by concerned locals who saw the need for a little bit of green in an industrial area, and has gone from strength to strength. Nearly twenty years on, it provides a chance for local children, many of whom will not even have a garden, to learn about native wildlife, and a good place for adults to relax or volunteer.
Local politics at its best, this sounds like a good way to be involved.
