We are delighted to say that thanks to Veolia we have now reached our target for our Streatham Community Woodland Project! When life begins to return to normal we will be able to continue our amazing volunteering programme! Thank you to all our backers! Open spaces have proven, especially over the past few weeks to be vital to the health and well being of our communities. We need to continue to protect this places for future generations to enjoy. We will continue to campaign as the more we raise, the greater the project we can deliver. Thank you all! The SCCoop Team

Hi there , just to let you know what’s happening in the woodland fence area, that we build 2 years ago , we are now seeing emergence of wildflowers in the fenced area- On our last volunteer session we saw wood anemone, primula and some self seeded horse growing where there was mud and leafs before. There is also a notable re-wilding and greening of the fenced area, also many of the loggeries that we built last year with school groups are showing fungal growth - which is a positive sign that the fenced area is working. I hope this update bring you a some joy at this time, we are all eager to get back to the woods. Until then Stay safe keep in touch

Thanks to The Mayor of London for pledging £14k to our Woodland Project and also a Big thank you to all our 188 backer for supporting us . 1% to go, please let people know about our project we need to get the target to get those pledges. Thanks
