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. These will include talks by the warden, guided walks and some fun events. Tasks include sapling, 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.
