Do Something Green to improve your environment – we are residents of Richmond upon Thames who are passionate about bringing people together to appreciate the environment. Our events and activities are outdoors where possible, and aim to connect like-minded people to do something positive for the planet, or a small local area. Whether it’s a cycle ride, a litter pick or a walk in one of Richmond’s parks, enjoy nature and meet like-minded people.
A circular family-friendly, mostly off-road cycle ride
Meet up at 10am at Teddington Station on the Station Road Side. Our route will take us through Teddington, across to Ham and then into Richmond Park via Ham Gate. After leaving Richmond Park we’ll cycle down to Putney Heath and Wimbledon Common, stopping for a well-earned coffee or tea break at the famous Windmill before returning to Richmond Park for our journey home. We have Paul Luton from Richmond Cycling Campaign as our trained cycle leader. Make sure to bring a road-worthy bike!
Location: Mortlake Green, Sheen Lane, Mortlake, London SW14
Litter picks are some of the most popular events in our Do Something Green programme. Make a positive difference by clearing litter from the towpath in Mortlake. A chance to meet other people who care about the environment and to have fun. Litter pickers and bags provided, plus safety briefing. Meet-up location is on Mortlake Green by Mortlake Station. We will work our way to the towpath then along it to Barnes. Stay for coffee and cake afterwards at the OSO Arts Centre cafe. A sociable, fun and positive morning.
