Discover Surrey's wildlife

England's most wooded county, Surrey is impressively diverse and possibly the richest of all land-locked counties in terms of numbers of recorded species.

We have a stunning mixture of landscapes to explore in Surrey, from the beautiful chalk meadows and rolling hills of the North Downs, to the vast heathlands of the Thames Basin and sprawling wetlands in the east of the county.

The sites we manage for wildlife represent some of the best examples of these habitats and are home to nationally and internationally rare animals and plants.
