Snailslynch Wood
A small but important space…
Situated beside the North Downs Way in a triangle of land between the A31 and Snailslynch, 1.53 hectares of flood plain beside the River Wey provides a small but valuable natural habitat for vegetation and wildlife on the outskirts of Farnham.
Recent Progress
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters the site was purchased for conservation in March 2024.
We are now obtaining a baseline survey to enable us to apply for funding to improve the biodiversity of the woodland.
As an example of the diversity of wildlife that this site already supports, the following birds may be seen on or over it depending on the season: Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Redwing, Dunnock, Wren, Nuthatch, Tree Creeper, Goldcrest, Firecrest, Moorhen Kingfisher, Grey Heron, Little Egret, Cormorant, Wood Pigeon, Dove, Carrion Crow, Jay, Magpie, Jackdaw, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Bullfinch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Common Whitethroat, Gret Wagtail, Red Kite, Common Buzzard, Sparrowhawk, Tawny Owl
Our Aim
Snailslynch Wood Community Project has been set up to enable this site to be preserved as a natural habitat within an urban area.
How can I help?
The project provides an opportunity to demonstrate care for our surroundings and will help to preserve the natural diversity of this area of land. Registering your interest will help us to raise awareness and funding for the project.
Taking Control
“The fact is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over everything on earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lays upon us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all other living creatures with whom we share the earth.”
― David Attenborough, Life on Earth
