On the 26.2.23 and the 26.3.23 there were 2 huge community volunteer efforts to clear tonnes of rubbish from the Silk Stream area of the Welsh Harp SSSI. At that point, this pile was easily accessible from the estate hoardings, and @BarnetCouncil were meant to collect it.

The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization on a mission to rid the world's oceans of plastic, funded solely through donations. Every single piece of the 9,223,483 kg of trash (over 20 million lbs) we've cleaned up so far is thanks to individuals like you. Now, you can also…
Come celebrate the start of spring with us! 🌺 Join this year’s Great British Spring Clean on the 23rd of March organised by Action for Silk Stream on the northern edge of the Welsh Harp reservoir, where the Silk Stream ends its journey.
We’re looking into this bright green pollution near Cool Oak Lane at Brent Reservoir SSSI, alongside Thames Water and the Environment Agency partners. Suspicion is that it’s some sort of dye. If you have any information about this incident please report it gov.uk/report-an-envi…

Rivers are a major source of plastic waste in the oceans. We estimate that 1000 rivers are accountable for nearly 80% of global annual riverine plastic emissions. But how much wind or rain does it take to move plastic, and once the plastic is in motion, how fast will it move on…

.@TheOceanCleanup Science & Technology Programme aims address the disconnect between the reality of plastic pollution and policy by linking remediation, monitoring and scientific research to the policies required to tap systemic gaps. 🔗ow.ly/CT3I50QEVaO #OceanDecade
Surely @NaturalEngland must reject @CanalRiverTrust’s request for a works extension to the Brent Reservoir dam repairs into the breeding season, and propose a postponement until September. cooloakgroup.com/news/7rxqho894…

What’s happening in Guatemala right now is unbelievable. The amount of plastic we captured… we’ve never seen anything like this before. We’ve been scooping day and night for over a week and we’re still not done extracting it all.
Don’t get me wrong: there’s a lot to love about Europe and living there. But when you’re trying to pull off something that hasn’t been done before, a business culture that emphasizes risk over opportunities and structure over results is like what xenon does to a nuclear reactor.
Spending 24 hours in Silicon Valley has already recharged me with enough optimism to survive another 4 months of European pessimism.

12 eco-warriors representing groups inc @CanLager @BrentPollution @BrookersDollis #LocalActionforMuttonBrook joined forces to remove all this from #BrentReservoir foreshore this morning. Brilliant teamwork and great fun.
The Edgware Road at West Hendon, in 1904 & recent times. This is a time before Staples Corner, & North Circular Rd, which arrived around 1921. The Old Welsh Harp Inn (to the right) was rebuilt in the 1930s & demolished around 1971 for the widening of the A5. Old postcard image

Excellent day on the Dollis Brook today with @EnvAgencySE colleagues and @Thames21. Pulling off toeboarding, clearing vegetation, and creating dead hedges. A project we are funding to restore the brook to a more natural state. @YourRiverBrent
Rivers are a major source of plastic waste in the oceans. We estimate that 1000 rivers are accountable for nearly 80% of global annual riverine plastic emissions. But how much wind or rain does it take to move plastic, and once the plastic is in motion, how fast will it move on…
(4/4) The hand points to the bridge over the Silkstream which is obscured by trees. The entrance road runs into @PHE_London which occupies part of the former Asylum grounds the rest was sold of to a developer for apartments. The main offices of the Asylum have been preserved.
(3/4) ....well this is the Colindale Avenue as it approaches the current (less fancy) bridge over the Silkstream. As you can see the area has changed beyond recognition.

Another tricky flotsam extraction, the torrent of polluted water, plastic and polystyrene unending, bearing vivid witness to our unsustainable thoughtlessness. @CanLager @pralford54 @Thames21
19,500 steps and 14km walked today. This was just a small portion of our patrol. Did you see us? Give us a wave next time!
Day 4 of celebrating the Brent River Park. 🦉 I love how there’s always a surprise in store and no two walks are ever the same. Whether that be a cheeky fox spying on you through the bushes or a goosander, you’ll never get bored of all the wild characters you might find! 😁
