Boardwalk and pond - ready for Spring!

New Entrance Gate

We were also very fortunate at the end of last year to receive a grant from The
Community Foundation for Surrey on behalf of the Orchid Environmental Fund to enable us
to replace the front gate and adjoining fence.
This has improved access to the site for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Date for your Diary

This year the AGM will be held in the Club Room at Lord Pirbright's Hall on Wednesday 25th April at 8 pm. Visitors are welcome but only members over 16 can vote on matters arising.

Following the business of the evening a talk will be given on Garden Birds by Janet Gilbert from the Epsom branch of the RSPB.

As always, don't forget to check out the Gallery for recent photos taken by Committee members Nigel and Barbara.

Reminder

The Wildlife Area is an ideal place for families to visit and have picnics.
Running a wildlife area inevitably involves a delicate balance of priorities - protecting and encouraging wildlife and also providing an area which gives pleasure to visitors and residents alike. Most of these are reflected in our Fox Corner Country Code.

Dogs are a particular issue. If uncontrolled, they can alarm wildlife, disturb nests and leave unwelcome excrement anywhere on the site. Groups of children are encouraged to visit to enjoy pond-dipping and mini-beast hunts. For their sake, it is vital that they do not come into contact with the results of dog-fouling. At one stage, we felt that it would be a good idea to ban dogs altogether but after representations from local people, agreed that they could be allowed but strictly only on leads.

We respectfully, but firmly, ask you to abide by this particular rule.
