including Beech Bottom Dyke and Sandridge Road Wastes
The Friends are happy to take questions about, and report incidents regarding, the heath, dyke and wastes to the council. Residents can now also report incidents directly to the council when logged ino the their account on the SADC website.
FoBH chair, David Pearce, noted that this is a useful tool as “local can check to see whether the incident has already been reported by someone else or to obtain an update”.

The Friends of Bernards Heath (FoBH) believe that the Heath provides an exceptional natural amenity for the locality and the Society exists in order to protect, preserve and where appropriate enhance the Heath for the benefit of the neighbourhood as a whole. Membership provides you with a forum to express your opinions about the Heath and an opportunity to help preserve it for future generations.
We liaise with the Countryside Management Service and St Albans District Council to update the Greenspace Action Plan for Beech Bottom Dyke and Bernards Heath.
This is just a selection of work done by the Friends of Bernards Heath.

There was quite a reasonable turnout, on a day which was cold with sunny periods. Not a lot of litter to be found, although several bags were collected – thank you everyone for your help.
More than 20 people, including these young helpers, turned up for our Action Day on 24th March – maybe it had something to do with the weather which was great. Lots of other bags were placed around the Heath for collection too. Thank you everyone who took part.
We didn’t forget Beech Bottom Dyke either, where sticks and other wood was blocking this section of the path. Rampant ivy is a also a problem when it results in trees being toppled – we worked on this too.
