The Greener Thread

Welcome to the Greener Thread: Where Community & Nature Thrive

From nature walks to vibrant campaigns, the past few weeks in Littleover have been nothing short of inspiring—and we’ve loved every moment of sharing that journey with you. This blog is our new digital campfire: a space to gather stories, spark ideas, and amplify voices passionate about protecting our corner of Derby.

🚶‍♀️ Exploring, Learning & Growing Together

We’ve taken biodiversity walks with Ivy House School, dived into the wonders of Sunnydale Park, and engaged young naturalists through bio blitz events with local uniformed organisations. These hands-on explorations aren’t just fun—they’re foundational in building a generation of green champions.

🗳️ Advocacy in Action

Greener Littleover continues to stand firm with the community against the proposed 335-home development on Moorway Lane. With your support, our petition has gained traction, emails have flown to Derby City Council, and conversations with MPs are blooming. Every signature, comment, and shared post makes a difference.

🧠 Creative Campaigning & Community Spirit

We’ve been pouring love into content that speaks clearly and passionately—whether it’s breaking down infrastructure concerns or celebrating the Green Flag Award for Sunnydale Park. And we’re brainstorming a campaign name that captures both environmental urgency and local pride… suggestions welcome!

📲 Let’s Stay Connected

Through this blog, we’ll spotlight local heroes, share behind-the-scenes insights from our campaigns, and celebrate the everyday magic of green spaces. Whether you’re here for the activism, the updates, or just a good nature pun—you belong.

Thanks for being part of the movement. Let’s keep growing, together.
