About us
Heath Hands delivers a wide ranging programme of conservation, community, learning and wellbeing projects on Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood and the Kenwood Estate. We help look after 350 hectares of amazing green space in North London, and since we were founded by members of the local community in 1999 we’ve worked in partnership with the City of London Corporation and English Heritage
Our vision is that Hampstead Heath provides a sanctuary for wildlife and people, and that it is protected for the enjoyment of all. We believe that everyone has a role to play in protecting our green spaces through conservation, environmental education and community involvement. We deliver a range of free activities and events and helps support people and groups of all backgrounds and abilities wanting to get involved in volunteering and recreation across our green spaces.
