Richmond Park National Nature Reserve

Richmond Park - National Nature Reserve, presented by Sir David Attenborough, is an award-winning film by conservation charity the Friends of Richmond Park. Filmed by experienced wildlife film makers (including a leading cameraman from Blue Planet II). The film won first prize in the 2018 Charity Film Awards in the 'Documentary/Long Form' category. Sir David explains in the film: “Richmond Park is not just a local park it's London's own National Nature Reserve with thousands of species of flora and fauna; but with 5.5 million visitors each year, the Park is under immense pressure. However, as visitors we can all help to protect it through simple actions so that it will remain a wonderful place for the enjoyment of future generations”.

David is literally saving KZbin I cant find anything to watch that brings me comfort anymore, until I stumbled on these videos today.

[@bluefirefilms5457]

Making this film was one of the highlights of my career. Working with Sir David is always a fantastic experience, and getting to know the park and its wild inhabitants was a real privilege. London, you have a great nature reserve on your doorstep! Can't wait until I'm back in Richmond Park!

[@lowesonia8551]

There is Bushy Park near Hampton Court. I knew as a girl. And adored Kew Gardens . We are very lucky people.

[@RB747domme]

LOWE sonia Green Park, Hyde Park, St. James' Park, Bushy Park, Richmond Park, and the Lea Valley Park, are all great parks that we are very proud of as Londoners.

[@paulharvey2396]

Thank you Bluefire films and David Attenborough - the message is so very important, if we do not pay attention we will leave a very degraded world to the grandchildren and their children. Please make more like this - we need this message given to the children in Asia and Africa and S. America as well. Miracles can be achieved by good education. How many ancient trees are now left?

The older the tree, the greater the variety of animals drawn to it. What precious creatures are the few left beyond extinction. I once new an oak tree in Leytonstone, London. It was protected by the neighbours who's back gardens radiated from it. So there, surrounded by maisonettes, mosques, shops, lived foxcubs in the roots in winter, bats in summer, spiders, frogs... the gardens brimmed and that tree was over 200 years old then...a survivor of Epping Forest. That tree holds so much grace, story, and supports and is supported by a rich ecology.. a habitat. So Richmond Park, Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest...such places in London are so precious and their true value will brighten in the human mind as we watch more and more loss of other animal life to the point that we revalue ourselves as animals.

Whenever I visit London I visit Richmond Park to photograph the wildlife, particularly the deer. Like other UK deer parks, there is nowhere here in Australia where such an opportunity exists. I use long lenses, move about carefully and keep a respectful distance so as not to disturb the animals. Unfortunately not all visitors show such respect, I suspect because they have little knowledge of wildlife. Richmond Park is an international treasure where people can observe and learn. Thank you David for this film about a place which is very dear to my heart.

Not only has David enjoyed a life being fascinated by this wonderful natural world, but he has devoted his time to SHARE it with others, perhaps this is why we ALL appreciate who this man that we all say is so GREAT, is. Hats off to all lovers of Davids documentaries, as well as the hat off to David.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

I agree, that is why people appreciate him so much because he is just as fascinated by what he is sharing as the audience who watches it. Great man!

[@pigeonlove]

To my knowledge, he didn't do this for free

[@nikkiewhite476]

@@pigeonlove I doubt the cameramen, gaffers, sound board people, video editors and everyone else worked on it for free either. Why do people demand celebrities work for free just because it is a good cause? Do you assume that he is rich because he does a lot of documentaries?

[@b.w.highness102]

Sir David Attenborough is a living National Treasure. This film was both beautiful and most frustrating. Why? To allow every earth walker freedom to walk dogs off-leash, to make all the noise and deposit all the litter they see as their "right"; to befoul this natural gem at their pleasure, is beyond my ability to understand. Humans will, in double-time, destroy this precious place, with not so much as a "thank you". This is hugely frustrating to me. I suppose it's the natural effluent of not being able to say "NO" in our "enlightened" world.

Spent the afternoon there today. I am gobsmacked and blessed to have seen it and enjoyed it. Richmond feels like home to me now. It has the same vast and quiet feeling of a huge park from my youth in America, Bidwell Park, of Chico, California, the third largest municipal park in the US. The '38 "Robin Hood" was filmed there and one of my landlords was in that film. He had some great stories about Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone and Alan Hale, Sr.
