BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.

  • Godstone & Tilburstow Hill
    point your feet on a new path Godstone and Tilburstow Hill Distance: 7 km=4½ miles easy walking with some inclines Region: Surrey Date written: 19-nov-2011 Author: Schwebefuss Date revised: 25-feb-2019 Refreshments: Godstone Last update: 19-jul-2021 Map: 146 (Dorking) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Village, water, woods, meadows, bluebells in spring In Brief This walk is full of delightful surprises and a few ghostly secrets from history along the way. Because of the good tracks and the sandy paths, it is a good walk at any time of the year, although the tracks in the woodland are drier in summer. In late spring, the forest floors are decked with bluebells. There are no nettles, so shorts and any sensible clothing and footwear are fine, but in winter and early spring, boots are recommended. Your dog is welcome too. The walk begins at the Green in Godstone, Surrey, just off the M25, postcode RH9 8DU . If coming by car, park carefully anywhere round the Green. Note that the free Council car parks only allow three hours’ parking. If every space is full, park on the west side of the Green (Bletchingley Road, then left on Ivy Mill Lane). For more details, see at the end of this text ( Getting There ). Godstone has four “pubs” although one, the White Hart , is a Beefeater and another, the Bell , is an upmarket bar-restaurant (albeit with an attractive garden and patio).

  • A Guide to Forest School Training
    A Guide to Forest School Training Course Information 2020/21 Guide to Forest School Training | 1 What is Forest School? Forest School is a unique outdoor education programme run by qualified leaders. It gives children and young people the chance to explore, learn and discover at their own pace, developing their confidence and self-esteem in a safe and supportive space. Forest School is different from most other forms of ‘environmental education’ in that it involves regular sessions in the same woods and the activities are mainly determined by the children and are predominately play based. The skillful Forest School leader will use the children’s own interests to extend their knowledge and skills, thereby increasing the next generation’s appreciation and care of the natural world. The ethos is shared by thousands of trained practitioners across the UK and beyond. It’s roots reach back to early years pioneers in outdoor learning and across the sea to Scandinavia. Why choose Surrey Wildlife Trust? Promoting the reconnection between people and their natural environment is at the heart of Surrey Wildlife Trust’s Forest School ethos, and this is reflected in all areas of our courses. We recognise the vital importance of promoting Our trainers are experienced providers of an understanding of the natural world and see environmental education, and have been the Forest School training programme as an ideal delivering Forest School programmes to children medium for delivery. in Surrey from schools, nurseries, youth and community groups for many years.
