The Friends of Salhouse Broad (FoSB) is a community organisation that works to help  conserve and enrich Salhouse Broad, and to promote a sense of custodianship within the local community. They provide a contact point between the community and the Ranger, and are a forum to share ideas and direct the vision for Salhouse Broad. There are meetings held in Salhouse throughout the year, with an AGM in March.

As a volunteer you do not have to join FoSB, but it is free to join and carries a range of benefits.

Some of the activities FoSB help with are:
  • Providing a voluntary Ranger service helping to maintain Salhouse Broad
  • Fundraising for the Broad, through running events (like the annual Easter Egg and Halloween Horror Hunt), or applying for grants and sponsorship
  • Undertaking conservation tasks such as tree planting, scrub removal, sedge bed raking, bracken and Himalayan balsam pulling
  • Improve educational and recreational value of area, through events, guided walks and fun days
  • Work with Salhouse Broad staff and partner organisations to co-ordinate planning and service provision at the broad
