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.
