The Story
Large swathes of London's Green Belt are under threat. Hounslow, Enfield and Ealing borough plans have all recently suggested substantial areas should lose their Green Belt designation. In Hounslow the council has proposed removing protective designations from 45% of the borough’s Green Belt and to develop 41% of that land.
It is vital to now campaign for an alternative, better future for Green Belt which has proven its valuable role in protecting the countryside from urban sprawl, and encouraged regeneration of urban areas in decline.
The climate crisis and biodiversity crisis means we urgently need to look again at what we want the Green Belt to look like and the role we want it to play.
This appeal will support vigorous advocacy for The Tree Ring - a continuous ring of trees around the capital - a kind of M25 for nature. Funds raised will also be used to support hedgerow planting and campaigning for the protection and restoration of other precious Green Belt habitats such as chalk grasslands and wetlands.
The Green Belt is London's climate safety belt and the countryside on the doorstep of Londoners. Please help us green it further so its substantial environmental and community benefits are clear to all.

This appeal will support vigorous advocacy for new woodland creation. We plan to push for the creation of The Tree Ring - a continuous loop of trees around the capital - a kind of M25 for nature. Funds raised will also be used to support hedgerow planting and campaigning for the protection and restoration of other precious Green Belt habitats such as chalk grasslands and wetlands.
