Walk the Heath Week – review
September 5, 2018
In August we ran our first guided walk programme ‘Walk the Heath Week’, with seven entertaining and educational walks.
Each walk was led by South Downs National Park Rangers or heathland site managers who took the opportunity to highlight the benefits that having actively manged heathlands can bring to local communities and individuals.
Every walk had a different theme, including navigation, health, local heritage, dogs and wildlife, conservation, the serpent trail and heathland management techniques.
Look out for our next programme of free Heathland guided walks in the coming months and, if you’re interested in becoming a health walk leader, we are running training in Midhurst on the 11 of September. For more information please email heathlands@southdowns.gov.uk
