Disturbance of Surrey heathland – what can you tell us, please?

Wild Justice has received information about an event on a Surrey lowland heath (which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Protection Area and a Special Area of Conservation). Schedule 1 species such as Woodlark and Dartford Warbler are feared to have been disturbed during mid-late June through commercial activity as well as Nightjar, a pair of which were known to have been using this area.

We have written to Natural England to ask them what they know of this event, what action (if any) they are taking and whether they were involved in encouraging or permitting this event.

This is a necessarily cryptic account of things but if you believe you know about what happened please contact us by emailing admin@wildjustice.org.uk . Thank you!
