Friends of Richmond Park

FRP is a charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of Richmond Park

Our aim is to encourage people to value the Park, and to maintain it for future generations, so we are keen to help them get involved. Friends volunteers work on practical conservation projects in conjunction with the Royal Parks, and on our History Project, which alllows the Hearsum Collection of Park-related historical media to be viewed by the public. We raise funds to support projects in the Park by staffing the Visitor Centre, and through the sales of our publications - The Guide to Richmond Park, and Family Trails in Richmond Park, and also a calendar.

The Friends is also involved in public issues which may adversely affect the Park, such as the proposed transfer of the Royal Parks to the Mayor of London, the Olympics road cycling which passed through the Park, and local planning issues and changes to policing.

Details of how to join the Friends are available on our website. Your membership entitles you to attend free walks, talks and courses, regular newsletters, regular email updates about events in Richmond Park, plus opportunities to get involved as a volunteer. Additionally your contribution will hep support conservation projects within the Park.
