  • Annual Review 2018 / 2019 the Birmingham Civic Society
    Annual Review 2018 / 2019 The Birmingham Civic Society Message from Geoff Cole Chairman, Birmingham Trees for Life I am pleased to report on another successful season for BTFL, in which we saw record numbers of people at one event, and rounded off the Birmingham Civic Society Centenary celebrations with a second planting at the Lickey Hills and the installation of a plaque to mark the Centenary Arboretum. We welcomed Cllr. Mohammed Azim as the new Council Member representative, who has more than demonstrated his support by attending almost every event, and were delighted to welcome back former Councillor Fiona Williams, who proved to be a staunch voice for trees when on our Committee previously, who has rejoined us as a ‘lay member’. We were fortunate to become a beneficiary of the HS2 Community Environment Fund this year, and will be planting new trees on 10 sites over 3 years with this grant. All the sites are within 1km of the line, and as inner city parks, are vital for improving air quality and health and well-being for local residents. We were also pleased to receive continuing support from the Halpin Trust for our River Cole project; last summer we trialled some summer events for the first time as part of this project, running follow-up sessions for schools on a few sites, and we will be expanding these on both River Cole and HS2 sites this summer and beyond. Our partners the Woodland Trust also continue their support of our project, and we enjoyed welcoming them back to Birmingham for our joint event at Norman Chamberlain Playing Fields.

Some were designed by leading landscape gardeners such as John Claudius Loudon (1783-1843), John Gibson (1815-75), William Barron (1805-91) and Thomas Mawson (1861-1933), but many others were designed by borough engineers, nurserymen, architects and committee members, sometimes after public competitions. he majority of provision of a wider range these parks were of facilities for sports and – or became – other activities. fully public supported by Public Health and Tlocal government, but a number Rational Recreation were semi-public ventures funded The formation of public through subscriptions and urban parks was partly a entrance fees.
