Conservation works

• we cut back dense scrub in winter to create clear ground for young heather to return
• we spread locally sourced seed on bare ground
• we treat bracken and birch in summer to prevent them dominating our Heathland sites
• cattle and ponies graze seasonally to help with scrub and grass control

Parking

There are no car parks at our heathlands in Pirbright.
