Dead Hedging at Whitedown

Join the Surrey Hills Ranger Service as they work to protect fragile ecosystems.

The Wotton Estate has seen an increase in unpermitted off-road driving which is damaging the fragile habitats on the Estate. We began building natural barriers to protect wildlife last winter, read more about it HERE.

Over the autumn and winter, we’ll be looking to build more of these barriers helping to maintain this precious woodland for all legal visitors.

We'll be working with Surrey Choices, and this is an opportunity to meet like minded people who care about the countryside, and preserve a natural legacy for future generations – we hope you can join us!
