Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath (copy attached).

The Superintendent introduced a report on the introduction of a stumpery into Golders Hill Park, noting that the transformation of the site was in progress with stumps having been installed and the introduction of ferns to follow shortly. He argued that this area, with its forthcoming educational value, of the Park now represented a hub of voluntary activity when considered in conjunction with the neighbouring RSPB Glassroom.

RESOLVED, that:

·         the Committee note the successful construction of the stumpery as an important new feature in Golders Hill Park;

·         the Committee acknowledges the close working relationships developed between Open Spaces Department staff and inspiration and knowledge gained from a visit to Highgrove House, Gloucestershire.
