Join the Surrey Hills Ranger Service as they work to protect the ancient yew trees at Newlands Corner.
This grove of trees is suspected to be among the oldest in Europe. We will be building and renewing natural barriers to protect their sensitive root structure, working closely with Surrey Choices in doing so.
This is an opportunity to meet like minded people who care about the countryside, and preserve a natural legacy for future generations – we hope you can join us!
