Gatwick Greenspace Partnership

We work across some 200 square kilometres of countryside, in the adjacent towns of Reigate, Dorking, Horley, Crawley & Horsham

The Wildlife Trusts in both Sussex and Surrey are trying to deliver a landscape-scale network of wildlife habitat that would ensure long term ecological functioning. Gatwick Greenspace Partnership is one of those Living Landscape projects. We work across some 200 square kilometres of countryside, with a total human population of some 200,000 people, in the adjacent towns of Reigate, Dorking and Horley, in Surrey and Crawley and Horsham in Sussex, with Gatwick Airport in the middle.

Gatwick's Volunteer Reserve Managers started bruising sections of denser bracken in Horlyland ancient woodland Gatwick last week. This work is done very carefully due to ground nesting birds and other. Opening up areas in the wood benefits many plants and invertebrates.

Gatwick Airport's VRMs (Volunteer Reserve Managers) continue with path maintenance at Pickets Wood last week. Our mid week volunteers are also repairing paths at Owlbeech Woods. This provides a clear path for visitors to follow rather than trampling on the flora and fauna either side or disturbing ground nesting birds.
