Jonas Samson4 years ago We would like to kickstart the process of regenerating First Avenue Urban Wilderness and to be a model for a self-sustaining community in the future.This project will enhance an existing green space in the area and will help nurture its biodiversity. It will provide an indoor and outdoor venue to host different community activities.Aims: Engage people with food growing and sustainability. Promote a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing. Make it accessible for people from different backgrounds including people with disabilities. Create volunteering opportunities to help boost self-esteem, confidence and skills. Establish a social enterprise that will support local businesses especially those who are engaged with sustainable practices. About the area:First Avenue Urban Wilderness is part of a big network of green corridor - a series of green spaces along the Greenway encouraging wildlife and people to co-exist. Unlocking the potential of the site can be a catalyst for the regeneration of other sites along the Greenway.Within the immediate locality are two large scale housing developments; The Grange and Plaistow Hub. This increase of housing developments in the area will make the site an important asset in the community; by serving the outdoor needs of the growing population.
