Habitats & Heritage is a registered charity based at East Twickenham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It works in the London Boroughs of Richmond; Hounslow; Kingston; Wandsworth; Ealing; and Merton. It aims to understand the deep connection between urban nature and history by taking care of the local landscape; its wildlife, ecosystems and heritage.
The organisation was formed when the Environmental Trust for Richmond upon Thames merged with the South West London Environmental Network (SWLEN) in autumn 2020. It adopted its present name in November 2020.
Its chief executive is Paul Jennings.
