We are stAGS – a new Friends Group helping to care for the green spaces at St Ann's Hospital in the London borough of Haringey. Across the site are many rare and exotic trees, some nearly 100 years old. Stretching all the way along the southern perimeter, parallel with the Gospel Oak to Barking railway line, runs “the wild place”, a woodland strip which is both a commuter link and home to the rich variety of wildlife travelling into Tottenham from the Lea Valley. It’s a special conservation area or “SINC” – a Site of Importance to Nature Conservation.
