FRIENDS OF HEADLEY HEATH

Registered Charity Number: 1003110

Headley Heath was acquired by the National Trust in 1946 from the Lord of the Manor, it being common land used by the locals for grazing their animals. By the 1930s the grass had given way to bracken, and disturbance by tanks and bulldozers during World War II coupled with the reduction of rabbits caused the present growth of trees and heather. Arresting the spread of trees and extending the heather areas are today’s tasks.Headley Heath is beautiful at all seasons, with over 500 acres in which to walk, picnic etc, or simply to sit in the fresh air and admire the views. Anyone of course can enjoy these rural delights, but if you become a Friend your membership will directly benefit the restoration and maintenance programme of the Heath.

FRIENDS receive newsletters describing what is to be seen on the Heath and giving details of events connected with it. These will include talks by the wardens, guided walks and some fun events. Your subscription (£5 per household MINIMUM per annum) will therefore benefit both the Heath and yourself.

VOLUNTEER WORKING PARTIES meet most weeks throughout the year on a Thursday and undertake a variety of conservation tasks under the direction of the National Trust rangers. Tasks include scrub and bracken clearance and pond maintenance, aimed at the restoration of the area to its original heathland state and pathway clearance and the installation of seats and posts to enhance the amenities for the many visitors. Adult volunteers of all ages and physical abilities are welcome. Full instruction is given each week and additional training courses are sometimes organised and volunteers can come and go as they please.

For further details of the Volunteer group phone: Federico Ghittoni the Ranger 07342080109
