Join us on Thursday 28th August 10am - 12pm for a guided walk around this newly created grassland nature reserve which was, until recently, an area of arable farmland.
Horsley Meadows is a SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace) and is managed on behalf of The Land Trust.
Set in a quiet area of countryside near the village of West Horsley, it has a 2.3km trail which winds its way around the gently sloping site. There are magnificent mature oaks, newly planted hedgerows and areas of scrub under big skies. A newly seeded wildflower meadow also creates floristic diversity on the reserve.
We hope to see many insects visiting the meadow area, whilst birds and small mammals will use the scrub for shelter and nesting. Buzzards and red kites can already be seen circling the site.
We will spend time exploring the site and learning more about the many different bird species which can be found here.
Important information:
The walk is approximately 1.5 miles on footpaths and tracks with some minor obstacles and steps. Walking boots are recommended. We will walk at a gentle pace with lots of opportunities to stop and ask questions.
This walk is aimed at adults (18+ years old). Unfortunately this site is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility. Please do not bring dogs on this walk.
Parking and meeting place:
Parking is available at Horsley Meadows car park, off Long Reach - see map / image below.
