If you liked this - 24 hours to object to the felling of many of these oaks and tearing up grassland and scrub habitats home to hedgehogs, wood mice tawny owl and more! www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/object-now/
Yes - this is not about loss of ‘a view’ or ‘overcrowding’. It’s about the loss of a place that’s so important to 100s of not 1000s who spend time here regularly, some daily. For many it’s our church, our community centre, our playground, our youth club, our garden. For some, a home 🦋🐝🐸🦊🐞🦔
100 years ago, this rewilded urban greenfield space was claypits with only an ancient ditch, a row of magnificent Black Poplars, and a hedgerow. Please join our campaign and object to #MMU plans to build on this special beloved place #RewildingTogether www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/object-now/
We wondered if it was that one! That phrase inspired by our own Ryebank Song maybe..and the wording on our profile pic here. It’s what it’s all about for some of us 🪺 #HomesForEveryone
Ooh which is yours @minimastersart.bsky.social? They’re all beautiful 🥹 and each square full of love and our histories and connection with the land. #Reciprocity @righttoroam.bsky.social we think you’ll understand..
The case for Heathrow expansion was commissioned by the airport themselves (ie not independent) and based on methodology the Government itself has discredited!
Are there student rate tix do you know?
Our own #Imbolc ceremony at Ryebank Fields - hoping Brighid will spread her cloak and protect our #Aspen and the surrounding grasslands and woodlands from the #ManMetUni bulldozers 🤍
Ooh you do look alike, that’s a lovely find after all this time 🤍
Beautiful #Imbolc celebration in our #Aspen Grove this evening ✨ poetry, readings and music from 🇯🇵 to 🇮🇪
The #community and #culture of Ryebank Fields are a part of why we can and do fight so hard to save them from the bulldozers. We have a relationship with this land 🤍#WildService #RightToRoam
In South Manchester, we have a nature shortage - not a housing land shortage

Our oaks 🌳 100s of them, all under threat. Please join our campaign to save them, and the rest of the ecosystem they are part of 🙏🏼 www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/features/mil...
We have more than a 100 oaks, and many of them will be a quarter of a century old this year. Will they make it to a century? Not if Manchester City Council let ManMetUni and Step Places have their way 💔
