HeathWatch is an initiative to enable volunteers to help us in protecting the Heathland reserves.
Initially, it will be limited to Upton Heath however it is planned to eventually roll it out for all of our heathland sites.
HeathWatch is a simple yet effective way for us all to be able to work together in providing a high degree of protection for the Heath. Anyone can take part, and there are no set times to stick to. All we ask is that you keep your eyes and ears open for anything untoward whilst you are out on the site. You could be walking the dog, out for a run or a walk, maybe doing a bit of wildlife watching. It really doesn't matter - as long as you have at the back of your mind - 'is there anything going on that shouldn't be?'
We don't want anyone to get involved in any way if you see something. Just report it - either to us on 01202 692033 or 01305 264620 or if needs be, to Crimestoppers on 101 or 01202 222222
We will be producing wallet sized cards with all the relevant information, and also offering T/polo shirts to anyone registered for Heathwatch.
Of course, you don't have to be part of Heathwatch to be able to report such activities - but we would like to hold regular updates and walks for HeathWatch volunteers, hence our wish for you to register.
Looking further ahead, we will also be establishing a small team of volunteer HeathWatch Wardens. This will entail further training and the provision of resources such as a handbook and high visibility vest.
