Welcome

The Friends of the Forster Country have one aim:

"TO PRESERVE FOR ALL TIME THE OPEN GREEN SPACE TO THE NORTH OF STEVENAGE KNOWN AS THE FORSTER COUNTRY."

Forster Country Walk
The Forster Country Walk will be opened on Saturday June 15th by world famous novelist, Ken Follett. The signage for the walk was made possible by a generous gift from Barbara Follett, our MP and friend for many years, in memory of John Hepworth. ImageThe unveiling of the first signpost will take place at 2.45pm alongside the memorial gates of the Thomas Alleyne School, opposite the Bowling Green at the north end of Stevenage High Street.                             
This event will be preceded by a brief AGM which will take place at 2pm in the garden room of Springfield House, the other side of the Bowling Green, and followed by tea in the same venue.

It is hoped that many Friends will be able to attend this event. Should the weather be fine, a walk to view the waymarked path will be an option.

Consultation over - What next?

The Consultation deadline has passed and we await the next phase of NHDC planning and/or a similar Consultation for Stevenage.  To read more about our response to NHDC, read our Newsletter.

            Meanwhile we hope spring will happen soon.  Won’t it be nice to walk in Forster Country without clothing suitable for January?  If you see any interesting Flora or Fauna, why not let me know via the Contact Us section.  Our own Springwatch?  Say if you also have a picture that could go on the website and I will contact you.
