Friends of the River Crane Environment

Friends Of the River Crane Environment, FORCE

Come and discover the River Crane corridor with the Friends of the River Crane Environment. There is something for everyone. The River Crane forms the West London Green Chain from Harrow to the Thames at Isleworth.

The corridor is rich in wildlife, has varied landscapes of meadow, heathland, woodland and scrub and a unique industrial past. There are places to explore, play, exercise and learn in, plus playgrounds for children to enjoy. Find out what there is to Discover and Learn.

Friends of the River Crane Environment (FORCE) is a community based voluntary organisation working in the London Boroughs of Richmond and Hounslow.   Find out What We Do and how you can Get Involved

Sadly we have had to make the decision to cancel all volunteer events and guided walks until further notice.  This follows messages on 18 March from London Boroughs of Hounslow and Richmond representatives which removed permissions for any public events in their open spaces.  This is a rapidly evolving situation and we will continue to monitor changes in advice and forward these to you through social media on the News tab above.  In the meantime keep informed (through formal national and local channels), keep safe, and support others where you can do this safely.  Best wishes and we hope to see you at one of our events in the near future.

FORCE were presented with the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service by Sir Kenneth Olisa, Lord Lieutenant of Greater London, on behalf of the Queen. The photo shows FORCE members and trustees celebrating at the AGM.  A big thank you to all our Friends, volunteers, supporters and partners for enabling this to happen
