Many of us grew up under Biddy Baxter's watchful eye and kindly influence. Somehow whilst at the helm of Blue Peter she found the time to be on our Board. We don’t have badges but if we did a very special Birthday Badge for Biddy would be on its way with much love and affection.

Yes there are elms in some surprising places around London. We have elm plans for our 40th
It was great to visit the Elms on the way to @WinterWonderLDN last year! Looking pretty amazing despite soil conditions… must dig out the photos of them going in. @GregPackman @LTOA33 remembered the 2012 @ConservationFdn campaign @Elms4London?
