Friends of Studham Common (FOSC) is a friendly informal voluntary group. Our aim is to conserve, maintain, improve and promote Studham Common as a haven for wildlife and a place to be enjoyed and appreciated by all.

We warmly welcome new members of all ages and support of all kinds.  Join us any time to help keep the Common beautiful for everyone.

How tidy do you want the Common?

Some local residents wonder whether Studham Common is “over-managed”.

Our ‘Big Bash’ Annual Work Party

This is as close as Studham residents will get to Rolling Stones – each one weighs about 80lbs, and this is what we have to do to stop drivers getting onto the farmers fields !

If you fancy a little exercise in the fresh air, while helping to maintain a beautiful environment on Studham Common, why not come and join our next work party on Saturday 20th September? We meet at the War Memorial at 10.00am. More info from Don (Tel: 872937).

What a tremendous day! Well done to the 47 people, from Studham and beyond, who turned out on a lovely bright day on Saturday 26th Jan for our major work party of the year. The result?  500 new hedgerow plants on Middle Common, 30 gorse plants along Byslips Rd and a lot of scrub cleared, including some scalloping of the Eastern boundary to make a better environment for wildlife. If you haven't seen the results, do go along to have a look. You will be impressed.   

Our sincere thanks to all who contributed, including, of course, those who kept us so well sustained with a hearty breakfast, a splendid lunch and a great tea to wrap up the day.
