The Friends of the River Crane Environment operate in the lower Crane Valley in Richmond and Hounslow. We work to improve local spaces along the lower Crane and Lower DNR corridors in collaboration with Richmond and Hounslow councils, the Crane Valley Partnership and other stakeholders. We are a community based organisation and work to involve local people in everything that we do to make the green spaces even greener and enjoyable to use!

Join us to wade into the River Crane (waders provided) and help with Himalayan Balsam removal. No experience necessary and everyone is welcome, including first timers. If you aren't happy wading into the water, land jobs will be possible too to help out!
