Friends of Troopers Hill have an excellent relationship with Bristol Parks and we are working together through the Management Plan to bring about improvements to the site and the way it is managed. In our relationship we have always accepted that Bristol Parks' resources are limited and that in order to bring about some of the improvements that we want to see it is necessary for Friends of Troopers Hill to raise funds ourselves. Our Friends' Funds page details some of our successes and shows how the money has been spent. Our most recent award is a grant of over £18,000 from YANSEC for works to the Greendown entrance and for new benches. Our Friends' Friends page includes details of local organisations who have worked with the Friends of Troopers Hill.
 If you would like to be added to our mailing list to receive our Newsletter, which is produced every two months, please send your name and address to

The Friends of Troopers Hill does not charge membership fees and does not have a formal membership. Our meetings and events are open to everyone with an interest in Troopers Hill or its surroundings.
