London Wildlife Trust has exciting plans to connect Woodberry Wetlands in Hackney and Walthamstow Wetlands in Waltham Forest with a Wetlands to Wetlands Greenway – a safe, green 3km ‘corridor’ that passes through parks and quiet roads.

The reserves will be opening in 2015 and 2016 and will give Londoners amazing opportunities to experience nature and wildlife in tranquil, protected settings.

Roadspace will be given over to green space, new trees planted and safety improvements made to streets. The idea has been shortlisted for funding by the Mayor of London’s Big Green Fund, and we’re asking for Londoners and their friends to vote for the project, called the Wetlands to Wetlands Greenway.

If successful, the scheme will allow cyclists and walkers to avoid the heavy traffic of Seven Sisters Road and connect with several other quiet routes, including links into central London and the Olympic Park.

The route would be completed next March and take in Manor House Tube, Woodberry Down estate, Woodberry Wetlands, Stamford Hill, Clapton Common, Springfield Park, Lea Valley path, Walthamstow Marshes and Wetlands, and Walthamstow.

The Greenway is one of seven projects in the running for a slice of the Mayor’s £900,000 funding which will be used to invest in environmental improvements for the capital.

Voting closes on Monday, 2 March 2015.
