About us
Putting a tree trunk into a hole to make a prospective home for stag beetles.
And as ever, there are two working and at least five watching!
Horsham Green Gym is an independent nature conservation group run by its members, with encouragement from Horsham District Council.
We meet on Tuesday mornings, usually from 10.0 am to 1.0 pm and work at various sites in and near Horsham, West Sussex getting exercise and fresh air while improving the local environment, learning new skills and making new friends.
Recent tasks have included building benches, tree planting, clearing streams, fixing way-markers for the Riverside Walk, bird box making, rhododendron, gorse and bramble clearance and path resurfacing. We are also proficient at creating dead hedges and removing plastic tree guards. Our members also have experience of pond clearance, fencing, coppicing and hedge laying.

Also, you might like to know that the Countryside Wardens of Horsham District Council arrange similar Saturday morning tasks during the months October to March, inclusive. These are advertised in a booklet available from Warnham Nature Reserve, Southwater Country Park, the libraries and other information points.
