Our Work

The Friends are able to support projects that make a real difference to education and conservation on Ham Hill. One of the great advantages we have is our eligibility to access a range of different funding sources to make improvements, carry out projects or hold events. By working with the Rangers, the Friends take part in prioritising work, successfully bidding for grants and helping in the implementation of a wide range of improvements.
