Community BlueScapes

Overview

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

Prepare communities:

Our climate is changing. It's important that our people are prepared for extreme weather events. We are joining forces with local residents, organisations and environmental experts to create innovative solutions to manage water flow and prepare for floods.

We're also empowering people the knowledge they need to prepare for flooding.

Healthy landscapes:

We are transforming our green spaces like parks, grasslands and leisure areas, and blue spaces like rivers and ponds to help prepare the landscape for flooding. 

Empower people:

We're monitoring our results and building evidence for other projects around the UK. With our findings, we want to empower other communities to increase resilience against flooding and extreme weather. 

Get involved

Through our ideas, experiences, stories, and actions, we can drive meaningful change. We can create happier and more enjoyable environments, ensure that animals have habitats to thrive in, mitigate the risks of flooding, and lessen the effects of drought. Moreover, we can enjoy the process as we do it.
