Friends of Northaw Great Wood - <>

We are a small group of volunteers who assist with conservation work at Northaw Great Wood, Hertfordshire.

We are a small group of volunteers who assist with conservation work at Northaw Great Wood, Hertfordshire. Established in 2007 by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s Landscape & Ecology team, with guidance from Hertfordshire Countryside Management Service and other ‘Friends’ groups in the county, we meet at least once a month to carry out practical work in the Wood in order to benefit wildlife and visitors as part of the overall Management Plan for the Wood.

We meet on the first Sunday in each month, 9.30am to 1.00pm, to carry out practical work in the Wood, including tree planting and clearance, improving public access, wildlife surveys, monitoring nest-boxes and other tasks to assist the Management Plan for the Wood. We also meet each Friday morning, 9.30am to 1.00pm. We assist the Council’s Ranger as required and occasionally assist the Countryside Management Service when they carry out work in the Wood.

The scope of our activities embraces:

Nature Conservation
Habitat Management
Wildlife Surveys
Footpath and Access Maintenance
Community Relations
