IEL community consultation roundup and plans for 2025!

The Incredible Edible Lambeth (IEL) Estates Nature Project, is a year long series of events to support Palace Road Estate residents to look after and improve nature on our estate, as well as building community connection, and encourage learning of new skills.

The project is run by Thea from Incredible Edible Lambeth supported by PRERA (and run in partnership with Lambeth Council). We kicked off with a community consultation on the 5th of October. Catchup with our previous news blog post.

Thea, working collaboratively with residents, will empower us to improve our estate, giving us the tools to garden with nature and protect our vital green spaces. Here’s a first share of the plan of events for the project!
