Remember our community cleanup back in May when the Project Dirt team turned up with a camera to film us all hard at work alongside Ravensbury Terrace in Wandsworth?

Now, here’s the result: a fast-moving, inspirational video sponsored by Timberland, showing how community groups all over South London are coming together to make the most of their urban surroundings. In just three and a half minutes you’ll see them bee-keeping, growing their own fruit and veg, and yes, giving up a Sunday to pull around 4 tonnes of rubbish out of a “stinky, cold river” (Nick’s words, not ours!)

If you’re interested in finding out more, we’ve also created our own Wandle Trust project page over on Project Dirt. Why not take a look, and maybe even join some of the other environmental initiatives springing up all over the capital and further afield?

And in turn, we’ll look forward to welcoming even more intrepid Project Dirt volunteers at our events on the Wandle!
