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”.
My father Ted Lord worked in Richmond park from the end of the 2nd word war until he retired..Around 37 years . He was awarded a medal for the design and layout of the plantations which can still be seen to this day. Richmond park was our childhood playground. I have so many stories but would take hours to tell.
watching this for school, oof it be kinda boring tbh
Dirt worshippers.
Okay so no dogs then, or people
U.k need to bring back wolves link's bear.
Only Sir David Attenborough can pet a totally random giant beetle after shopping in the City a mere 2 hours ago
I’m betting David done this for free 👍
I saw anne bolyen in richmond park in my dream at halloween night
Enjoy the subtle persecution of dog owners (twats)
I used to cycle through the park daily from Richmond to The City. I have to admit that the human animal is also one of those which engage in reproductive activity there! Bill Dixon.
Apex predator missing from ecosystem. Allowing large herbivores to graze too close to the banks. Needs local wolf reintroduced.
good place 4 retiree

Wildlife is closer to home, than we think. National Parks are the conservation of specific types of nature - the flora and fauna in a specific area. It often involves a helping hand from humans. Nature untouched by humans, left to it's own devices is very rare. The area around Chernobyl is one example. That one caused by accident by humans....

Thank you again for teaching us all, Sir David Attenborough
Leave nothing but footprints and take away nothing but memories.

A beautiful place and true words spoken by a truly beautiful man ❤️ ........... (I think all dogs should be always kept on leads within the parks boundaries)
This park needs funds or it’ll close per sir David. The queen, a billionaire, should donate & save public gardens and not be concerned with just her private ones that receive fabulous meticulous care.
What a lovely nature preserve !
Bring wolves back to Europe

What a shame I missed visiting there when I was in London April 2019! It's not likely I'll get back there, so this video was was wonderful to watch!
A heartfelt plea.

Wonderful wonderful film about a sacred place. When I attended Kingston University from 2003 to 2006 I spent as much time as I could there. It was magical.
Sir David Attenborough made me watch ants having sex. I was high and the whole thing made sense to me.
Basically, keep your bloody dog on it’s bloody lead!
@Sow AG My pleasure
@Prince of Epirus thanks

Nice Documentary. If I ever get the privilege to go to London I will definitely make a trip to Richmond park
They should ban all dogs in the park.

I love Richmond park, there's no better person to speak about it than Sir David Attenborough

Super presentation, we love the deers ❤️👏👏
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.
Loved this video. the wildlife in Richmond Park is astonishing. I went there after I watched this video and saw nature including great spotted woodpeckers, skylarks, red deer and stag beetles. I strongly recommend this national nature reserve to anyone who is into birds or any species of wildlife.
please, lead
I used to walk there with my father from the eighties onwards. Long chats of son learning from father..I miss him but showed my wife all around the park including looking through the telescope
all respect and appreciation for this man, but I reproach you in a company ISpast that you do not publish all his works here despite his dedication to spreading knowledge and diving into the details of details saluting him from Sudan.
I am a simple man. I see Sir David Attenborough, I click.
Time to ban dogs from the park, dogs are THE ultimate invasive species.

We should introduce wolves like Yellowstone park to control deer. It did magic there and hope will do same in Richmond.
7:09 that woodpecker poking out the tree is like angry pingu 😂
Absolutely fantastic!!! My favourite park in London!
Lived in London my whole life (born and bred in London) but for some very odd reason I've never been to Richmond Park.
Why would you want to pack a picnic? There are some great places to eat in the park, my favourite has always been the eatery in Pembroke Lodge. It is also right by a car park and toilets.
Inspiring

What they really need are natural predators to keep the deer and park healthy, not practical to have wolves in richmond park i guess :)

Sir David you are the my pride and joy

My hero
Attenborough brings the life in wildlife
I love Sir David. His voice can both soothe me to sleep or keep me on the edge of my seat. I wonder, hope, he's done a documentary similar to this in the U.S.A. I'm going to keep looking.
Not to make in mandatory, but if each visitor was to donate £1 on visits, imagine how much money could be used to buy and maintain other pieces of land within the UK? I'd hate to take the right away from the poorest to visit these places, but if those that could afford it were offered a scheme, surely it would help protect places against the threat of development and lack of care in the UK? We pay for all manner of activities, I'd like to see us put some value on our green spaces.

What other Major Western City has such a lovely nature reserve Remember London has 9 million people living in it and thats not counting the 3 million tourists in London Daily
You see two treasures in the film: Richmond Park and Sir David Attenborough.
🙏🏽

So much work to be done?Where do we begin?

It’s funny that ancient hunting actually contributes to preserving of wildlife
Thats a tricky thing to balance really. Ancient hunting caused the extinction of natural land predators so species such as deer now get "too" numerous and end up damaging developing woodlands. This shifts the entire eco-system which will help some species but undoubtedly have a negative impact on others. Victorian era hunters also introduced lots of non-native species for the purpose of hunting them and this has also had a knock on effect and through disease and competition caused declines (and probably extinctions) of native wildlife.
There are a number of prominent signs, around the park in big red letters, 'Dangerous dogs must not be let off leads between February and May as they may present Danger to young deer' And yet, owners still do so. The signs underneath the lettering have a warning - '£300 penalty may be payable for letting dogs run free of lead between these months'
I believe the rangers have the right to shoot dogs that are bothering or attacking deer
In fact all dogs must be kept on leads during the deer birthing season of May and June and the rutting season of September to early November. Dogs must also be kept on leads around Pen Ponds and the Skylark nesting areas, as indicated by numerous signs.
Excellent presentation by Sir David Attenborough, I thorougly enjoy all his documentary films!. I am going to visit Richmond Park tomorrow :)
Agreed, he is my inspiration and the inspiration for an entire generation.
Sad seen the same in parks in Norway.
Very dear David Our National Treasure Whom we love and cherish . Seen through your eyes Richmond Park is far more beautiful than my memorises as a girl. Your calm sweet voice I seem to think you are speaking to me in person.The gift of a story teller my father had the same. Thank you for all your Wisdom shared with us. We are enriched by your teaching
just reminds me how shit London is
Richmond park is a special place
Thank you, mr. Attenborough.
18:37 - I can imagine another look at this footage, in a few centuries to come, with those trees and that path almost unrecognizable. I love Richmond Park, London and David Attenborough. All in all in a wonderful watch.
I love this guy
Beautiful!
If I could live anywhere in London, it would be around here.
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.
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!
Epic! Always fantastic to listen to and watch David Attenborough. We need more Nature Reserves around the UK and around the World. Great Film - many thanks!
He hypnotizes people he is not a national treasure but an international treasure . Full of education and an enticing.
its amazing, that this park, is so accessible, by car, bike, foot, and occasional bus. and its free, with free parking! -in London! how about that. its my favourite place to wander, with a camera. Long may it remain!
Truly liked this. :D
Great film. Well done, George!
When I went on holiday to London a couple months ago, we went to Richmond Park and it was an amazing experience! The park was beautiful and one of the female deer came right up to me, sniffed my hand and let me pet her! It was absolutely magical to know that she trusted me enough to come that close and I’ll never forget that! 😄❤️
As a londoner myself I can say that was weird... YOUR THE DEER WHISPERER???
Absolutely fantastic, we hope to encourage more conscious walkers to this beautiful part of London. Thank you for making this film!
I would go visit the park everyday if I live in London
Brilliant stuff I love this park I visit it every time I’m down from Dundee I love the wildlife here especially the deer and the parrots I’m still trying to spot an Owl though also the green woodpecker is there any special areas I could see these in ? I’m coming down to Richmond in a weeks time n staying about a 10 minuet walk from the park and will be taking photos of the wildlife so information on good spots would be appreciated ‘ a brilliant film with a brilliant man 👍🏻
His voice is getting a little slurred - but it doesn't matter. Such a beautiful soul, even for an Englishman.
I enjoyed watching this video and so many of David Attbenborough videos, and wish all the best for David Attbenborough.
David Attenborough's voice is like pouring honey into my ears.
Fantastic! I wish a film like this could be made for every park. Perhaps the message would get out to the ignorant ones to be a good steward of the land and not treat it like a dumping ground for their amusement.
I lived next to Richmond park all my life, it has had a huge impact on the way I live and how I view nature. I truly hope it continues to enrich the lives of more generations for many centuries to come.
Wonderful video. If I ever go to Richmond Park, I’ll be sure to “tread lightly”. Also, at 16:42, you can see that one of the acorns Sir Attenborough is holding is actually a gall from a wasp that he mentioned in a long ago episode of “Life in the Undergrowth”
Our park. I'm getting to know it very well. Lovely video.
Sir Attenborough still going strong.. So much energy. I hope he lives past 100.
Live just a stone throw away from richmond park (kingston gate to be exact 😊)... no matter how many times i visit the place, it always takes my breath away 😍
I like this programme in Richmond Park inspired wildlife love compassion l loved it all
Been listening toand watching this man all my learning life. Great film thanks for the upload. But it does seem like there is a dis.like to dogs off leads! LOL.
Sir David, you are such an inspiration. I would love to spend a few days with you, just to get to know a bit more about you and the natural world. God bless you Sir.
Hi awesome page ☺ Keep it up!
he's only gone and done it again!!!!
When you dont have much wild places you become protective.A lesson for wildlife rich countries who think they have so much that they afford to lose it.Every acre matters.
Since this film was shot I believe someone has wrecked the view of St Pauls by putting tall building on the far side of it.
i wish i had such a park like this in my country. greetings from indonesia
MR LEGEND
Simply this is called Heaven, don't look it for somewhere else..! Legend Sir Attenborough Narration makes the park looks so live to my screen.
Leave not trace but take back memories .
Sir david very very great and good person really

I tread lightly everywhere in England not just Richmond Park. Wonderful sir David as always . I'm a huge nature lover .!
