Hampstead Heath covers one third of the DPNF area and is administered separately from Camden by the City of London (CoL). It is by far the largest green resource in the area. The Hampstead Heath Consultative Commitee provides a forum for local residents and users of the Heath to comment upon the management of the Heath. Members of the committee are nominated by over twenty local organisations.
DPNF included ideas in the plan related to Hampstead Heath which have been conveyed to the CoL. These were considered by the Management Committee and some have now been accepted and will be implemented over time. These include planting a line of trees parallel to those lining Highgate Road, to serve as a backup when the existing trees reach the end of their lives or if they are affected by disease and planting clumps of trees along the path between the staff yard and Nassington Road.
