4Bs Nature Conservation
The Power of Community Action for Nature
The most tangible expression of people caring for nature is when a group of people voluntarily come together to work on behalf of nature. Such community groups carry out the quiet, essential tasks that keep landscapes healthy: clearing invasive scrub from grassland, maintaining footpaths, coppicing woodland, restoring ponds, planting hedgerows, and monitoring the species that depend on these spaces. They connect people with nature and particular places, foster pride in local nature, and prove that the health of our wild spaces is strongest when it’s held in many hands.

Call to Action - 4Bs Nature Conservation Group
In collaboration with Simon Humphreys, Surrey Wildlife Trust Voluntary Reserve Manager at Dawcombe & Fraser Down Nature Reserves, the 4Bs Biodiversity Initiative has established a 4B Nature Conservation Group of volunteers. If you would like to join our people and nature freindly conservation group please email Amanda Lowe at [email protected]
You don’t need experience or any special skills or knowledge to be a conservation volunteer. It’s rewarding and satisfying, and it provides an opportunity to get fresh air and exercise in the company of other like-minded people while a lot of valuable work gets done. There are regular breaks to chat and enjoy a cuppa while appreciating the views.
We will post the date of the next Nature Conservation Day Here

4Bs Nature Conservation Group in Action
Contributing to something bigger
The 4Bs lies within and adjacent to Surrey Wildlife Trust's, North Downs Landscape Recovery Area connecting the urbanised areas of Dorking and Reigate. The conservation work outlined above will contribute to the network of fragmented chalk grassland priority habitats between Dorking and Reigate, strengthening local nature recovery and resilience to climate change.
