For a beautiful and thriving Surrey countryside that enriches all our lives

"Residents in Surrey can help save the countryside in their area by identifying sites they value and may be at risk of development and acting sooner rather than later."

We welcomed the recommendation for an increase of 40% in the current network of UK #hedgerows. An extension of this size will help with the all-important carbon capture required to achieve a net-zero output in the next 30 years: http://www.cpresurrey.org.uk/news/did-you-know-hedgerows-can-help-the-climate-too

May is #NationalWalkingMonth and @livingstreets are encouraging us all to drop the drive. Can you walk, bike or scoot on short journeys this month? The sunshine helps!

This year's theme for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is loneliness & we've been thinking about how walking groups are the ideal way to make friends & enjoy the countryside. @SrryYngWalk is a friendly group for young people in #Surrey also part of @RamblersGB: http://surreyyoungwalkers.org.uk

On 14th May All Saints' Church in Warlingham will be holding an open day, with a bug hunt🐞 and a chance to meet volunteers.

Dame Judi Dench and the Bishop of Southwark will be planting Oak Trees in celebration of the upcoming #PlatinumJubilee. Go along and join in the fun!

More and more people are taking part in #NoMowWay which is great news for wild plants and other wildlife. @Love_plants campaign encourages people not to mow during May to let #nature thrive.

Are you taking part this year? We'd love to see your photos!
