Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust (HMWT)

We are the leading voice for wildlife conservation in Hertfordshire.  HMWT manage 44 nature reserves, from beautiful woodlands and wetlands to rare patches of heath and orchard.  However, increasingly we are looking beyond our nature reserves to the wider landscape – our vision is of a Living Landscape, an environment rich in wildlife for everyone to enjoy.  It is this vision which prompted us to apply to be ‘Catchment Hosts’ for the Upper Lea Catchment Management Plan. 

 

The Environment Agency (EA)

We are a public body responsible to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.  Our principal aims are to protect and improve the environment.   We help deliver the environmental priorities of central government and are playing a crucial role in supporting the development and implementation of the Catchment Management Plan.

We also supply water to the Tendring peninsula in Essex and the Folkestone and Dover areas of Kent. 

 

Countryside Management Service

We work with communities in Hertfordshire to help them care for and enjoy the environment, including:

  • Encouraging people to get involved in volunteering to look after their local countryside or park
  • Providing advice to landowners or managers helping them to look after their land with wildlife in mind
  • Helping  secure funding for landscape improvement and conservation work
  • Promoting outdoor recreation through guided walks, and walk and cycle routes which link towns and villages to their surrounding countryside
