Welcome to the Friends of Fox Hill. We are a community group created to support access to, and the conservation of, this area of much-loved woodland on the edge of Woosehill in Wokingham, Berkshire.
We are all local volunteers with an interest in open spaces and their flora and fauna. You can follow our news on here, take part in our conservation sessions (see Events), which also include litter picks, or even make a donation by contacting fundraising@friendsoffoxhill.org.
Anyone with an interest in supporting our work can be a member. You can join us and follow us on Facebook. We also welcome new members to join our small committee and take on an active role.
