Countryside Management Service

Countryside Management Service Hertfordshire County Council

The Countryside Management (CMS) works with communities in Hertfordshire to help them care for and enjoy the natural environment.

Volunteer with CMS
People can join the CMS to get involved in looking after their local countryside and green spaces for wildlife and improving facilities for people to get outdoors for recreation including walking. There are plenty of volunteering opportunities from practical conservation volunteering, being a wood warden and protecting the rights of way network. Why not get involved and join our team of over 400 volunteers to make a difference.

Places to visit
Discover some of the diverse wildlife sites across the county, from parks and commons to woodland and springs. Our website contains guides and leaflets for many of these sites, many of which have interesting heritage.

Walks and More
Our Walks and More page lists a variety of outdoor activities aimed at inspiring you to explore the Hertfordshire countryside.

Self-guided walk & cycle route leaflets, following way-marked paths
A range of self-guided leaflets and maps will help you explore Hertfordshire’s countryside and local heritage.
