The Friends of Hill Hook LNR is a local group of The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and The Black Country. They help manage the reserve with support from Birmingham City Council.
Regular practical conservation days take place through the year and volunteers have undertaken tasks from woodland thinning, coppicing, and sycamore and scrub control to tree and hedgerow planting.

The Friends of Moseley Bog and Joy's Wood Nature Reserve has built on the success of previous groups and years of volunteering and campaigning. It was community action that saved the reserve from the developers, and was one of the catalysts for the formation of the Urban Wildlife Group, which became The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country.
The Friends are now one of the Trust's local groups. You are welcome to attend our Annual General Meeting held each May at Sarehole Mill. In the meantime, if you'd like to join the Friends group, or find out more about them, please contact mosbogfriends@gmail.com.
