Friends of the River Crane Environment

Would you like to learn traditional conservation skills from experts?  We offer a programme of free activities including how to scythe.

We shall be working along the banks of the River Crane in Crane Park meadow near Mill Road in Twickenham. Scything is a useful way of managing grasslands and helping to bring about improvements to the river locale.  You don't need any experience as all activities are well organised with tools and leaders. We work in Partnership with The Conservation Volunteers in Richmond area. Please wear suitable outdoor clothes and bring along some refershments and food.  

We shall also have additional activity today, an insect survey with entomologist Richard Jones !  Should be very interesting to see what insects we find.

If you have an hour, a morning or all day, do come along.
