Soaring Kestrels & Tiny Woodmice Return to Hackney: How Nature was Restored on the Old River Lea.

Thanks to the work of local ecologists and volunteers, the right conditions are being restored for insects and small mammals to thrive - species once missing from this stretch of urban river. And with them return larger predators such as kestrels and kingfishers.

This river is on a journey of renewal - showing how people working together can bring life back to our rivers and parks, even in the heart of the city. A true Reason To Be Hopeful. 🌱
