Camden’s ‘Think & Do’ Pop Up is a community space to give people in Camden the chance to come together to develop ideas and projects tackling the climate and ecological crisis.

The creation of a new civic space is a direct follow on from Camden’s Citizens’ Assembly on the Climate Crisis held in July 2019 which resulted in 17 recommendations. At its Full Meeting on 7th October, the Council unanimously agreed to take forward all these recommendations.

Camden’s Climate Action Plan for 2020-2025

Think & Do has been working to support the adoption of Camden’s Climate Action Plan for 2020-2025. Think and Do’s events and projects have helped inspire and moblise people to come forward with green initiatives. Camden’s Climate Action Plan commits the Council to roll out a series of Think and Dos across Camden. Georgia Gould kindly accepted a webinar invitation from Think and Do to talk to us about how we can continue creating collaborative spaces to reimagine Camden. The webinar, on 15th June, was joined by other Council staff and our fantastic allies and friends. The launch of Camden’s Climate Action Plan for 2020-2025 took place on the 2nd July,

Let’s grow mini-wildflower meadows and Rewild Camden

With 97% of UK wildflower meadows disappearing since the second world war, it’s so important that each of us do our bit to encourage biodiversity. We are giving away small packets of annual wildflower seeds, which should flower this year. If you would like to grow a mini wildflower meadow – whether in a container, in a street tree, or in a garden, get in touch via our contact form.

Here is a simple guide of how to grow a lovely, naturalistic display of flowers (from the ThinkandDoCamden Instagram feed):

Think and Do has free seeds to give away – if you would like some please contact us! Camden Council has given permission for residents to plant seeds in tree pits! A great way to increase the biodiversity on your street and plant some flowers to bring someone some joy!
