Harrow Nature Conservation Forum

Description

The Harrow Nature Conservation Forum is an entirely volunteer organization that supports the work of the volunteer wardens of nature reserves and wild open spaces in Harrow as well as encouraging surveying and biodiversity enhancement throughout the borough. All HNCF wardens note interesting species on their sites and report them to our central database. In addition we regularly perform more formal surveys covering many different taxonomical groups. We are in the process of forming a new group, “Harrow Wildlife Action”, to monitor and improve wildlife and biodiversity across the whole of Harrow. This group will survey areas such as cemeteries, parks and small undeveloped plots of land.
