Norwood Forum has been invited to join the Lambeth Biodiversity Forum and attended its first meeting last week at the fantastic Roots and Shoots (well worth a visit!). This is led by Lambeth Landscapes and has a very broad membership that includes both national, regional, local and volunteer organisations.

The objectives of the group are:

• To promote and support action to enhance biodiversity within the borough of Lambeth.
• To support, encourage and positively influence the conservation and enhancement of biological diversity as a strategic issue within Lambeth.
• To develop and maintain closer working relationships between those organisations and partnerships operating within Lambeth, with an interest in enhancing biodiversity.
• To have the capability to act as a single voice for biodiversity opinion within the borough.
• To proactively seek to be representative of Lambeth’s diverse communities and operate in a fully inclusive manner.

Membership will really enhance our #COP26Norwood ambitions and there will be plenty of opportunity for the community to get involved in projects such as mapping our wildlife. Sign up our newsletter here to be amongst the first to hear about future plans
