Welcome

Heath Hands is a volunteer organisation created to help preserve the special character of Hampstead Heath and to give everyone who enjoys the Heath an opportunity to make a difference.

Our volunteers work with City of London Corporation and English Heritage staff members on a variety of conservation and maintenance tasks, all over the Heath and at Kenwood. There are work sessions throughout the week and at weekends as well as special events and visits to other local open spaces.

Who should volunteer?

If you are an angler, athlete, sports player, conservationist, cyclist, environmentalist, gardener, swimmer or walker (with or without a dog), you have your own reasons for keeping the Heath in good condition. As a Heath Hands member you can increase your enjoyment of the Heath, learn new skills and work with like-minded people, guided by seasoned Heath staff.

Heath Hands is an associate of the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers (BTCV). Membership is open to volunteers over the age of 16.
