On the edge of Baldock, just off the A507 North Road, sits Ivel Springs Local Nature Reserve. The springs, which are the source of the River Ivel, help to sustain woodland, wetland and pasture. This carefully managed mixed habitat provides homes and food for many species of wildlife.
Ivel Springs Greenspace Action Plan 2025-2030
The Countryside Management Service (CMS) is working in partnership with North Herts Council to draw up a new Greenspace Action Plan (GAP) for Ivel Springs, which will guide management of the site between 2025 and 2030.
As part of the GAP production process, CMS will run two periods of engagement. We are currently inviting stakeholders and the local community to view and comment on a briefing document, which provides further information on the public engagement process and sets out objectives for the new plan. The briefing document can be found below.
Please send comments to Caroline Crang, Countryside Management Service by Sunday 22 December. Email: caroline.crang@hertfordshire.gov.uk
