Norbury Park is a historic parkland situated between Dorking and Leatherhead and a much-valued resource for recreation, farming, woodland and nature.
The 530 hectare park is owned by Surrey County Council who need to ensure that it provides for both nature and enjoyment through a balance of rich natural habitats and facilities to enable community use. Our aim is to optimise the contribution that Norbury Park makes to Surrey’s Greener Future Climate Change Delivery Plan and the associated emerging Nature Recovery Strategy, whilst continuing to provide a recreational space for the people of Surrey and contributing to the health and social well-being outcomes by enabling access for a broader cross-section of the community. We will achieve this by a gradual shift in the approach to land and woodland management and farming to focus on outcomes which reverse nature loss, enable natural flood management, and maximise the contribution of the estate’s natural capital assets to the mitigation and management of climate change.
