Do London Differently

Podcast Ep5
The Green Londoner - Every Body Outdoors - ESEA Outdoors

This week we take a look back at some of the events from the London Walking Festival. We also included a preview for forthcoming interviews with Annabel Abbs, Julie Ford and Dan Raven Ellison.

Have you met Barnie, the tree believed to be the largest in Greater London?

Emily joins The Green Londoner Gautier Houel and Stephen Lavery from Friends of Bishop’s park for a mindful journey along the Thames through the boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham and Richmond.

The walk highlighted two legendary trees that have outlived monarchs, survived centuries of storms, and continue to stand tall, offering vital ecological benefits with quiet strength:

🌳 Barnie — believed to be the largest tree in Greater London 🌳 A Holm Oak — nestled in Fulham Palace Gardens and thought to be one of the city’s oldest living trees

Michael speaks to Clara Lee, volunteer with both ESEA Outdoors and Every Body Outdoors about her walks.

We also included a preview for forthcoming interviews with Annabel Abbs, Julie Ford and Dan Raven Ellison.

The episode rounds off with some teasers of Michael’s films which will be shown at London Nature Films on the 14th and 15th June.

Hosted by Ranger Emily Langston. Co-hosted and produced by Michael Shilling.
