Some beautiful bird shots captured by Jason Cramer! Diverse bird life is an indicator of a healthy ecosystem. Birds are predators and prey in an ecosystem and seeing them flourish in a green space should make us all happy to see!

Littering might seem like a small act, but its impact is far from small. Every piece of waste thrown on the ground harms the environment. By simply using a street litter bin or holding onto your waste until you find one, you are playing your part in keeping the City clean and protecting the environment.
Let us all be part of a positive movement.
