We still have places on our Volunteer Day this Sunday 13th October – we’ll be completing the new kingfisher bank as well as maintaining and improving the wider area around the Mill Road area of Crane Park. Places are free, but booking essential force.org.uk/calendar/item/…

More bench news! We received reports of the kingfisher bench being overturned earlier this week. The council parks dept and their contractors were quickly on the case and had fitted new fixings and mended the bench within 24 hours – thanks to all who reported and fixed it

Kneller Gardens is getting a new ‘dog-dip’ beach! It will be similar to the existing 'dog dip' in Richmond Park and provides a dedicated space for dogs to enter the river safely and without causing harm. Work begins the w/c 28th Oct and is expected to take a week to complete.

The woodchipping is complete on our first volunteer day of the new season in the Mill Road area of Crane Park. Thanks to all the volunteers who came along to help!

One of our tasks on yesterday's volunteer day was to clear out the back channel at Mill Road - including these woody debris along with fence posts and a child's go-cart!
