The Friends of Brickfields Country Park.
The Friends of Brickfields Country Park were formed in 1992 by a group of local residents wanting to become involved the furtherance of a local amenity. The group operates under license from the Rushmoor Borough Council as part of the Parks Department, performing varied conservation tasks from rubbish clearing to building new paths. We are associated to Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership which links us to other conservation groups nation-wide for training, and advice.
We welcome involvement from anybody, as members of the group or occasional volunteers. Work parties are held in the park on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 1:30pm onwards unless it is bucketing down !, do look at the Dates page for the latest work schedules. No special skills are needed, just some strong footwear !. Working safely is covered each time a task is started. Please note that we cannot have unaccompanied children under the age of 16 at our work groups, if you are under 16 and would like to come along please bring a parent ! (they don't have to help out but it would be nice if they did).
Large groups or companies looking for a “team building” exercise are welcome, special task dates and times can be arranged in advance for a variety of tasks. “Bramble Bashing” is a popular task for those who want to let off some steam on or about something. There is at least 1 acre of the stuff to be “bashed”.
The park is used on a regular basis by local schools for nature studies and is open everyday of the year, so please help us to keep the park tidy.
Please take your litter home, do not light fires,
and PLEASE do not fish in the pond.
The Friends of Brickfields Country Park are trying to compile a comprehensive history of the park and the immediate area, if you have any information relating to the park, anecdotes (a lot of local residents used to play in the old brick diggings in their younger days), photographs, press cuttings Etc, then please let us know. Photo's and other documents will be returned.
We would like to hear from you
For details on any of the above topics please E-mail or telephone the number on the E-mail page.
