Conservation
Heath Hands delivers a range of conservation programmes and environmental projects across Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood and the Kenwood Estate. We help manage 350 hectares of amazing green space, maintaining a mosaic of important habitats, conserving wildlife and preserving the unique character of this landscape. We also work to engage visitors and get the local community involved in nature conservation.
