Harrow Nature Conservation Forum


Harrow Conservation Forum is a Sub-Committee of the Harrow Heritage Trust (click here for the Trust's own website). The Forum is a group of volunteers who maintain the majority of the nature reserves and wild open spaces in the London Borough of Harrow.

We organize working parties in the various reserves as well as fun and educational events including guided walks: click on the relevant link for a current calendar.

The Old Dairy (Wood Farm Visitor Centre) is an excellent base for natural history study by small groups of children or adults. It can also be booked for other activities such as classes and exercise sessions. Click here for more details.
