The Lingfield Nature Reserves

Welcome to our Web site
The Lingfield Nature Reserves consist of two adjoining public nature reserves near the centre of Lingfield, in Surrey. For legal reasons, the two reserves were managed separately until 2003 but since then have been managed together.

This Web site was originally built before the merger and was then just about Lingfield Wildlife Area. We hope to create a joint Web site in the future. For now, the material about the other reserve, Centenary Fields, is here.

LWA logo (black & white)Lingfield Wildlife Area began in 1994 and has the enthusiastic and hardworking support of local residents. They have helped transform these previously barren fields into a set of richly varied habitats.

These pages tell you about what we have achieved, and our plans. Here you will find:
a description and a map of the reserve
information about the main habitats on it
lists of the species found on it
an outline of how we manage it
a history of the project, and
details of some of the people and organizations involved with it

Our next POND OPEN DAY is on 6 July 2008, from 11.00 am to 12.30 pm. Children, parents and grandparents are all welcome. Nets will be provided and reserve committee members will be there to help identify what you find.

TREE TRAIL WALKS and other group activities can be arranged. Please contact one of the committee members listed below.

We hope you come to visit the Wildlife Area, and that you enjoy it if you do. The reserve is always open and you are free to roam anywhere in it except, for your own safety, any fenced or roped-off parts.

For more information about the reserve, or if you have any suggestions about it, please email our secretary, Joy Matthews. You are assumed to have read and agreed with the legal notices (here) in your use of this Web site.

I have been on sabbatical since June 2007, travelling the country. Internet access is not always possible, so I'm afraid I am able to update only small portions of this Web site, such as the working party dates.

If you need more information about the reserves and our activities, please contact one of these committee members -- Anne Richards (01342 870200), Julie Hearn (01342 835313) or Sally Cole (01342 833814).
