What we do

Conserving our green spaces
Our conservation and practical programmes help manage the unique landscapes of Hampstead Heath and nearby green spaces. We work to conserve the Heath for both wildlife and people, deliver various wildlife monitoring projects and improve habitat connectivity.
Staff teams across the green spaces lead many thousands of volunteers and hundreds of groups throughout the year. We work in partnership with the City of London Corporation and English Heritage to deliver our conservation and maintenance programmes.

Getting Communities Involved
Our event and community programmes support people to get active on the Heath. We help people of all backgrounds and abilities to get involved in volunteering and recreation on our green spaces, delivering a range of activities and events and working to ensure that our green spaces are welcoming and accessible for all.
