Surrey Wildlife Trust is part of 46 Wildlife Trusts across the UK, working to protect and connect at least 30% of land and sea for nature's recovery by 2030. Our vision is for a wilder Surrey with abundant wildlife and biodiversity-rich recovery networks. Over the year, our livestock team calves over 70 cows, makes 200 acres of hay, and transports livestock across the county to more than 35 conservation sites. We prioritize high herd health and animal welfare, maintaining a modern, well-serviced fleet of vehicles and machinery.
Our primary bases are Pond Farm on Wisley Common (GU23 6QS), Bonhurst Farm in Bramley (GU5 OLA), and Elm Farm in Farleigh Common (CR6 9PE). Since these locations are not easily accessible by public transport, the ability to drive and access a vehicle is essential. Suitable SWT work vehicles will also be available.
