New London National Park City Rangers
A brand new network of 54 passionate people with a wide range of experiences and talents who will help make London healthier, greener and wilder more >
New year, new you? We're looking for another 50 volunteer London National Park City Rangers to share the vision for a greener, healthier and wilder London.
As most people's nearest local green space, front gardens have a vital role in making London greener, healthier and wilder.
#WhatIf we all brought life back to our streets?
We've launched a brand new website with the Ealing Front Gardens Project. Read more about why and then explore the research, inspiration and tips.
National Park City Foundation has been working with the hip-hop artist Loyle Carner, Timberland (the sponsors of our Ranger programme), Croydon Borough Council, Urban Growth and a number of other organisations to turn a grey site, outside Thornton Heath Station, into something greener and more appealing for the local community.
The community joined in and were present with Loyle and others to complete the planting. Watch the video to see Loyle tell the story. As Loyle says in the video #NatureNeedsHeroes, because just caring is no longer enough.
What if we saw the city from a bird's perspective? What would we do differently? For London Design Festival 2020, There Project take you on an audio journey along Regent's Canal to explore how design can help us be more ecocentric. Guided by conservationist, wildlife writer and #NationalParkCity Ranger Kabir Kaul, this podcast will take you from Islington Tunnel to Kingsland Basin Nature Reserve.
To celebrate the first anniversary of London becoming the World’s first National Park City, we held 3 online events showcasing 100 people who are doing things to make our National Park City greener, healthier or wilder. You connect with all of them and watch many of the talks here.
As part of our celebration of the first anniversary of London becoming the World’s first National Park City, the National Park City Rangers have created a short film about themselves and their work. Watch it here.

When people talk about how green their area is, they often mention parks and green spaces but not domestic front gardens, even though these can make up more of an area’s green space than parks. More >
