Yet another imbecilic moron has broken a cherry tree on the stray overnight. Why? The tree was planted only days ago! I doubt it will be the last, who but an idiot would do such a thing! 😡

Making a #NewYearsResolution? How about resolving to spend more time outdoors in your local green spaces in 2023! Just a short amount of time in your local park each day will help you feel happier and healthier.
The importance of green spaces on children's development. Another wonderful thing about our wonderful Stray

A very evocative passage about our Stray ..........
I saw this photograph by Ashley Reaks on Facebook and it brought chapter two of 'The Damascene Moment' to life. Thank you for allowing me to use it, Ashley. @TheStray @WaterstonesHarr @VisitHarrogate
Deepest condolences to His Majesty the King and members of the Royal Family on the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
May she rest in peace.

Great to see the sunshine bringing out those who love to play on the Stray. A fun game of volleyball being played there tonight!
Harrogate's Stray...where there will forever be a place for this gentle man: 'Asked where he was happiest, he said: “It may seem obvious but just sitting on the Stray under a tree.”' thestrayferret.co.uk/obituar…

A generous and warm hearted man, an example to many,especially those who spend their lives destroying rather than enhancing our Stray. thestrayferret.co.uk/stray-t…
Harrogate businessman Guy Tweedy has offered to pay for new trees on the Stray to replace the ones vandalised.

This is how some local youths decided to ‘celebrate’ this week.
By consciously and savagely destroying cherry trees on the Stray.
Trees planted in loving memory of 2 babies and other dear friends.
Perhaps they can be made to atone for their destruction & the distress caused.

In showcasing the #Harrogatedistrict's beautiful gardens we're promoting longer visits to our destination, encouraging garden lovers to explore here further & come back again to discover more.
We're delighted to be at @RHSHarlowCarr's flower show this week as #VisitHarrogate🌺😊
Your views are important, there is a potential threat of further loss of trees
Please take part in the survey below regarding the Pinewoods.
Many thanks

Our beautiful Stray is Harrogate's green lung and gives everyone somewhere to exercise plus peace and tranquillity too.
Parks are good for people and for the planet. Proven to help people stay physically and mentally well; they are places where we can all move, breathe, run and play. They are an important tool to drive social cohesion, combat loneliness and build community spirit.
Green spaces are good, do good and need to be protected for good. They are not pleasant nice-to-haves to be taken for granted - they are the green hearts of our communities.

Let's be aware and help our prickly little friends...and other wild life.
Sounds like we are in for a warm weekend in the UK - those bowls of water are vital for hedgehogs (and other wildlife) so please keep them clean and topped up (with stones or pebbles in to allow insects to escape).
