About us
Horsham Green Gym, founded by BTCV, is now an independent nature conservation group run by its members, with support 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.
Tasks have included building benches, tree planting, clearing streams, bird box making, rhododendron, gorse and bramble clearance, path resurfacing and clearing ivy from headstones in a local cemetery.
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.

If all this sounds like something you would like to do, have a look at the 'Join us' page.
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.
