Watford Borough Council

Residents of all ages can experience autumn and winter in Watford up close and personal whilst helping to enhance the town’s biodiversity through Watford Borough Council’s nature conservation programme.

Everyone is welcome to join us at the events listed below. You don’t need any previous experience, as all sessions are lead by an expert leader and all tools and equipment are provided. You don’t have to attend a complete session either, and are more than welcome to pop along for as long as you wish. Children are welcome if accompanied by an adult and it is best if you come in old clothes and stout shoes.

Please note: These events are subject to change, so please check that they are running before you leave home! If you require anymore information please contact Watford Borough Council’s Conservation and Development Officer on tel: 01923 278333.
