The “Take Me To The River” project aims to help people discover the magic of the River Crane in Hounslow. Events and activities have been planned for the next two years (2024 to 2026) that focuses on engaging with residents and visitors and improving the wildlife.

The Project is funded by Hounslow Council’s Thriving Communities Fund and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) fund. It is being delivered as a partnership project between Hounslow Council’s Parks Team, Habitats and Heritage (H&H) and Let’s Go Out and Learn (LGOAL) who will organise community engagement events in the river Crane corridor. 

PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION 2025-2026 

As part of the project, we invited residents to share their inspiring photographs of the River Crane as it flows through Hounslow and adjacent linked greenspaces. Photos could include the River Crane itself, nature and wildlife, as well as buildings and places within the River Crane Corridor. There were three categories: under 16, 17-24, over 25’s.

We were delighted with all the entries and congratulate everyone who took time to take part in the competition. There were some difficult decisions, but the judges agreed on the following winners.

Our thanks to the judges from Habitats and Heritage, Let’s Go Outside and Learn CIC, Creative Spaces London, Crane Valley CIC, and the Mayor of Hounslow Amy Croft for their time and enthusiasm.

WAYFINDING CONSULTATION

for more information.

THE CONSULTATION IS CLOSED AND WE WILL BE SHARING THE RESULTS SOON.



We have been working with a number of schools along the river as part of the wayfinding consultation.
This is the report of the work with Sparrow Farm School Feltham. We were delighted to spend time with the cross year group Eco-Warriors creating memory journey sticks and then support them as they encouraged their adults to create a memory tag for favourite places nearby.
