Looking after the Heath
Working Parties
Working parties are organised from late September to April each year and include general clearance and monitoring work as appropriate. Whilst all parties are dependent on weather most work goes ahead as planned.
Please note the time of starting will always be 10am. The dates are listed below, and start at Sussex Road Car Park, Sussex Road, Petersfield. All working groups are coordinated to an overall management plan and last at least 3 hours (we do stop for breaks and tea)!
You should bring waterproof/windproof clothing, good strong gloves & protective footwear/boots. If you also have suitable tools such as shears, small saws, bill-hooks, loppers, or spades these will be useful to you.
The best thing to do is come along and watch/participate and enjoy The Heath, which includes heath land, woodland, grassland and water.
