Surrey Wildlife Trust is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts across the UK, a grassroots movement working to protect and connect at least 30 per cent of land and sea for nature's recovery by 2030. ‘Our vision for a wilder Surrey is a future with abundant wildlife and nature recovery networks rich in biodiversity.’ Over the year, the livestock team calves 70+ cows, makes 200 acres of hay, transports livestock across the county delivering them to 35+ conservation sites. The trust has a focus on high herd health and animal welfare.  We maintain a modern, well serviced fleet of vehicles and farm machinery.

Pond Farm, our primary base on Wisley Common (GU23 6QS), Bonhurst Farm in Bramley (GU5 OLA) and Elm Farm in Farleigh Common (CR6 9PE) are not readily accessible via public transport so the ability to drive and access to a vehicle are essential although suitable SWT work vehicles will also be available.
