About the event

Ockham Common consists of more than 800 acres of heathland and woodland. 

You’ll hear how we are managing the valuable heathland to make sure that birch and Scots pine don’t take over. Surrey has lost 85% of its heaths in the last 200 years so we are working hard to protect the remainder. 

The walk is approximately 1.5 miles on mostly sandy tracks with some minor obstacles and steps. Walking boots are recommneded. We will walk at a gentle pace with lots of opportunities to stop and ask questions.
