Ready to make a real impact on climate change and shape the future of our neighborhood?

We believe that when communities come together, they have the power to tackle big challenges—like extreme weather and flooding—while creating vibrant, nature-friendly spaces for all.

Join us for the Community BlueScapes flood resilience fair!

Local knowledge is our greatest asset, and by planning together, we can transform our neighborhoods into resilient, thriving places for people and wildlife.

Together, we can tackle climate change, one neighborhood at a time. Community BlueScapes empowers locals to prepare for extreme weather, restore natural landscapes, and create safer, greener communities.

We are coming together to create healthier neighbourhoods in the Beverley Brook catchment in Richmond and ensure our communities are flood and weather resilient in the near future.  

Empowering our residents to co-create these solutions with us is integral to our work. We understand that our local communities have the knowledge we need to improve the local environment, and we want you to help us shape the future of your neighbourhood. 

Community BlueScapes is a partnership between London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Barnes Common Limited, and WWT.
