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.

Find out more about our work below, including the latest from our blog.

We collaborate with the Heath’s Ecologist and local partner organisations to coordinate a varied programme of monitoring projects to help gather information on key wildlife species to help inform the habitat management of our green spaces.

Learn about our project to improve wildlife connectivity for wildlife including our iconic hedgehogs on Hampstead Heath and in surrounding communities and local green spaces.
