Protecting and enhancing the environment, community and culture of the tidal River Crane (Thames to Northcote Rd) for the benefit of the neighbourhood.

Shocking images of seals caught in plastic in #Devon's Brixham Harbour.

The pictures have reignited a debate surrounding single-use plastic bags, and whether they should be banned in supermarkets. #PlasticBan #plasticpollution @CitytoSea_

Inquisitive seal at Teddington Lock, Richmond at midday today. A magical start for New Year’s Eve. #Londonlife #riverthames #wildlife #kayaking

@TidalCrane not three men in a boat three children by a boat obviously having a lovely picnic

[Tidal Crane Assoc @TidalCrane]

@TidalCrane We are on the last tidal tributary of the Thames & lucky to have free mooring & access to the Thames. Little better than messing about on boats - read Wind in the Willows, Swallows & Amazons & Three Men in a Boat.

But we do need a new chair & secretary as both moving

[Tidal Crane Assoc @TidalCrane]

@TidalCrane so much easier now than the old days but we still need to cut down branches and clear minor rubbish to keep the river open for navigation

[Tidal Crane Assoc @TidalCrane]

Early days of river clearing which is why the 41st year on16th June will be a river Celebration Day

[Tidal Crane Assoc @TidalCrane]

@TidalCrane after 41 years we can't let it die, but as people are moving away we need two or three volunteers to give a little bit of their time. Please read the attached notice
