Partnership with Surrey Hills Society

Partnership with Surrey Hills Society 

Surrey Choices’ Growth Team has partnered with the Surrey Hills Society and together they have been working hard at Newlands Corner, conserving and enhancing the area to make a positive impact on the environment and the accessibility of the grounds. 

Activities have included helping construct the new boardwalk, creating dead hedging to protect the yew trees and a huge array of conservation works at the viewpoint, much of which was facilitated by the Surrey Hills Society and funded by the Surrey Hills Access Fund.  

The partnership between Surrey Choices’ Growth Team and the Surrey Hills Society has been a great success, with both organisations working together to support a greener future for the county. The efforts made by the Growth Team to support the environment are commendable, and it is fitting to see that this partnership seeks to make a significant impact on the environment.  

Mette Le Jakobsen, Surrey Choices’ Managing Director said “The partnership between the Growth Team at Surrey Choices and the Surrey Hills Society is exceptional. We had the delight of seeing some of the work the team have done, restoring grassland and conserving the woodland. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to admire the ancient yew trees, it was quite inspirational and actually a little bit emotional!” 

Surrey Choices’ Growth Team’s efforts to support a greener future have demonstrated that it is possible to create positive environmental impacts through community initiatives. As the project continues to progress, it sets a precedent for future collaborations and demonstrates that small changes can have a big impact on the environment.
