Adopt a wildlife home
As part of our wider nature conservation programme, volunteers have been working to construct wildlife refuges for some of Hamsptead Heath's iconic species.
If you’d like to support wildlife on Hampstead Heath you can adopt a wildlife home to fund the creation, maintenance and monitoring of these refuges for the year, as well as our broader conservation work to protect these species on Hampstead Heath.
In return, you will receive your adoption pack by email, including:
An adoption certificate
An information pack on the status of the species you are adopting and the location of your refuge
A factsheet on your chosen species
An update after a year on how the species is doing on our green spaces
Can’t decide on a species? You can also make a donation of any size to our wildlife habitats appeal here.
Hedgehogs are listed as nationally endangered by the Mammal Society, but Hampstead Heath is home to one of London’s largest populations. Help support hedgehogs by adopting a hedgehog home on Hampstead Heath here.

Grass snakes are a priority species for conservation in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and Hampstead Heath, thanks to its varied habitats, is home to one of the most closest significant populations to central London. Support Hampstead Heath’s grass snakes here.

Stag beetles are our largest land beetle. Their populations have been affected by loss of deadwood habitat and they are a Conservation Priority Species in the UK. Help support these iconic insects by adopting a stag beetle loggery here.

House sparrow populations have declined significantly in recent years (by 77% since the 1970s!). Help extend the range of these birds from nearby streets in the Gospel Oak area by adopting a house sparrow terrace on Hampstead Heath here.
