Who this task will support
Friends of Cheney Row Park
In 2019 the London Borough of Waltham Forest (LBWF) completed a £1.2m regeneration of an open space within the Lee Valley Regional Park creating Cheney Row Park. Local residents wanted to take things further, placing the Park at the heart of the community, so the Friends of Cheney Row Park (FoCRP) was born. We are dedicated to improving the Park, ensuring it meets local needs, and developing a wider sense of ownership and pride. In partnership with LBWF and supported by TCV, we are committed to increasing biodiversity in the Park, making it a place for nature to thrive – a haven for birds, butterflies, insects, and small mammals, for trees, grasses, plants and flowers. By encouraging the natural environment to flourish, we hope our local community will flourish too.

There are lots of trees in and around the park that need some essential care. We'll be working to liberate the trees from bindweed and brambles, using tools to cut these away from the trees. We'll also do some litter picking in the area.

Sign up or find out more More details about what to bring, what exactly is involved, etc. will be provided by confirmation email. You can get in touch with us at info@friendsofcheneyrowpark.uk.
