Next Work Morning Saturday 30 August 10:00am

  • Please wear appropriate clothing including gloves and strong non-slip  footwear.  And bring your own drink or snack if you think you will need it.

Our work morning volunteers are a friendly, welcoming group so just let us know if you want to join us. We will be delighted to see you.  A couple of hours makes a big difference to Croham Hurst Woods.


Fires are a real threat and are not permitted. Carelessness destroyed scarce heathland on the top of the Hurst in 2017 in a serious fire.  We have been working hard to restore the heathland with some success.  Also cycling is not permitted here. The surface in places is very fragile and cycling is causing damage.

It is shameful that our last bench in the meadow funded by members of FOCHW was stolen. If anyone has any information about this please let me know.

We are  very lucky to have such a wonderful ancient woodland on our door step. You will have noticed the regeneration works that have taken place in the Hurst. Funded through the generosity of FOCHW and the Forestry Commission it is already making a striking difference.  Thanks to all our members for their support.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SETTING FIRES OR BBQs ARE NOT PERMITTED IN OUR WOODS.


Pictured below are some of the many volunteers who regularly attend the work days. Thanks to you all.
