Schools Programme

For schools we offer opportunities to link with our volunteer events and bespoke sessions related to the local environment. Please contact the office to discuss your requirements.

Healthy Walks and rowing for Adults with Disabilities

The Environment Trust provides environmental activities for those people for whom there may be barriers to participation. Since 2007 we have been running our programme for adults with physical or learning disabilities, which includes healthy walks, rowing and supported volunteering opportunities. Please contact us for more information.

Art Picnics

Each month we spend a Sunday drawing and painting in different beautiful and interesting places, inside or outside, and often with specially arranged access.  There are experienced tutors on hand to help and advise.  It’s informal and friendly – just bring a picnic lunch. All levels, from beginners upwards and including families, can take part.

Lecture events

Each event consists of a series of short talks by specialists, celebrating distinctive aspects of local heritage and ecology. Usually they are chaired by one of our Patrons, who have national reputations as experts in their field. There will also be displays by relevant local groups and businesses.

Exploring with the Environment Trust

Walks exploring Richmond’s rich environment and heritage, led by local experts run from March to November. Please see our events programme for upcoming walks.
