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 public engagement
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 is running two periods of engagement. The first period of engagement ran in December 2024, inviting stakeholders and the local community to view and comment on a briefing document. The draft GAP has now been produced for the second engagement stage and is available for comment.
Please send comments to Caroline Crang, Countryside Management Service at caroline.crang@hertfordshire.gov.uk by 2 May 2025.
