Formed more than 30 years ago, the Friends of Petersfield Heath hold their AGM on Tuesday 20 May at 7pm in the Rose Room at the Festival Hall. 

You can join on the night and hear Margaret Paren OBE, now the Chair of the Council for the Protection of Rural England, speaking about the battle to form the South Downs National Park. 

Richard Philips, the Secretary of the Friends, spoke to Mike Waddington about the biodiversity the group are sustaining, from Kingfishers to Barn Owls, and hedgerows and pathways - he also tells you how to get a licence for your kayak.
