Another nice story before I head outside to make my own.

The first photo is of the author checking out some speedwell and I think the first flower I took a photo off last week was a tiny Germander Speedwell flowering earlier than it's country cousins by a garden wall in Wolverhampton.

There is a lot to be said for a slow walk in the urban jungle :)

Urban trees are more than just decoration—they reduce heat and improve air quality in our busy cities.

Building suburbs with trees from day one should be the norm, not the exception.
Casey Council’s push for real tree canopy in Clyde shows how cooler streets, walkable neighbourhoods and liveable communities are a planning choice. Trees are infrastructure, not decoration.

#Urban #WildlifeCorridors Help Mitigate #Climate Effects

Kyle Chan February 26, 2025

Excerpt: "#GreenCorridors offer a promising start to mitigating these urban issues, allowing cities to naturally lower temperatures through evapotranspiration, a plant process that releases water vapor to cool the surrounding air. Increased vegetation will also allow more hazardous particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to be absorbed, reducing greenhouse gas concentration and improving air quality.

"#Columbia’s second-largest city, #Medellín, launched a green corridor initiative in 2016. Since then, environmental planners there added rows of vegetation along the most polluted avenues, maximizing the amount of CO2 intake from their $16.8 million investment. Maurício Correa, a researcher studying environmental engineering at a Colombian University, found that the 8,800 trees planted became effective 'green barriers' against particulate matter and reduced average city temperature by two degrees Celsius.

"Fighting #ClimateChange isn’t the only thing green corridors can do. Historically, #wildlife has rarely been welcomed into urban life, experiencing drastic changes in the #ecosystem. However, nature-based infrastructure can promote #biodiversity and provide animal species with a safe habitat. Green corridors are indeed multi-purpose and flexible. To maximize the limited space in busy cities, green corridors can function as recreational centers, city facilities and much more—all while mitigating climate change.

"Green corridors can be an effective solution for any city anywhere. In #NewYork, the #ManhattanWaterfrontGreenway consists of almost 32 miles of #BikePath lined with various plant species. Urban '#NatureWays' in #Singapore mimic the natural #rainforests by incorporating trees with #canopies stretching across the roads."
