INTRODUCTION

The Petersham Environment Trust is a charitable trust set up with the aim of protecting, conserving, maintaining and enhancing the natural environment in the village of Petersham near Richmond upon Thames.

It’s predecessor, The Petersham Trust, was created in1999 in order to protect Petersham Meadows and ensure that cows continue to graze there in order to be enjoyed by future generations. 

The Trust, as planned, handed over the meadows to the National Trust in 2010, its remit achieved. For more information see History.

The new Trust builds on previous success but broadening its focus to cover the environment throughout the Petersham area, not just the meadows.
