Improving air quality in Havering🌿🌤️ 24 timber planters filled with lush Ivy screens are helping to add natural beauty to the environment while supporting biodiversity and local wildlife. Installed in early 2023, the green screens act as a natural filter, trapping dust and absorbing pollutants, which is a significant advantage in pollution-prone urban areas. 📍 Rainham, London Borough of Havering #greenscreens #livinggreenscreens #livingscreen #biodiveristy #airquality #urbangreening #greeninfrastructure #greenwall
