A brainwave of tsunami dimension broke on the shore of the Forster Country on 12th December 2007. This was the realisation that under the terms of SNAP (the Stevenage and North Herts Action Plan) the Forster Country for which we had fought for so many years no longer had a rigid boundary against our neighbour North Herts District. Instead, a vista opened in which Forster Country Park would embrace the best walking country in the rising ground north of Stevenage between Graveley in the west and Chesfield and Great Ashby to the east. |

About The Friends of the Forster Country |
|
In spite of its international and local importance, the Forster Country had no sort of protected status and there were continual attempts to build on it. In 1988, John Hepworth (retired geologist) and Margaret Ashby (writer & lecturer) both of whom had been campaigning to prevent development in the Forster Country, joined forces to form the Friends of the Forster Country (FoFC), with the aim - "TO PRESERVE FOR ALL TIME THE OPEN GREEN SPACE TO THE NORTH
OF STEVENAGE KNOWN AS THE FORSTER COUNTRY." |
