Description
In 2011 we will be delighted to welcome you to the newly opened Twickenham River Centre on Twickenham riverside. It will be a lively inspiring place with a working boat house and state of the art learning spaces.
All your schools' river education will be possible at the centre. We will also be offering sessions which explore curriculum linked sustainability issues.
Currently, the Environment Trust links Richmond Borough schools and other groups to 'hands on' environmental volunteering projects like river clean ups and hedge planting. If you would like to get involved please do get in touch.
