Dear John,

Our new publication, ‘Greener cities: A guide to the plants on our pavements’, launching on 4th July, helps you to identify and celebrate some of the many plants to be found on our streets. It provides an insight into their importance, what makes them unique and how to look out for some unusual species living quite literally on our doorsteps.

We will be joined online by contributing author, Dr Amanda Tuke ([link removed]) (botanist), Brigit Strawbridge Howard ([link removed]) (naturalist and author of ‘Dancing with Bees’) and Sarah Cooke ([link removed]) (Associate Landscape Architect, Groundwork) to discuss the importance of plants and insects in our towns and cities and how we can better protect our urban spaces so that we all thrive.

Going pesticide-free and allowing nature to thrive does not need to result in overgrown streets that compromise on accessibility. Our cities can be both well maintained and thriving with biodiversity, but it takes imaginative designing, attentive planning, and dedicated maintenance to be successful.
JOIN THE CONVERSATION ([link removed])

If you live in London we also have two afternoon plant identification walks planned on 8th and 9th July. We would love to see you there.
JOIN A WALK ([link removed])

If you live outside of London you may like to organise a walk of your own. If you have photos of urban plants, pavement chalking, community nature walks etc. we would love to include them in an online gallery promoting the beauty to be found in our urban spaces. Do send them to us at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Pavement%20plant%20gallery&body=null)

Please share this invitation with others, with your local councillors, environmental groups etc. Take photos of your pavement plants and tag us on social media or use the hashtags #longlivetheweeds #pavementplants.

In solidarity,

from the team at PAN UK
