Guildford has a wealth of countryside sites ranging from heathland to downland to semi-ancient natural woodland.
We strive to give the people of Guildford and our visitors the best parks, urban forest and countryside we possibly can. We work to achieve this by:
- Working to protect and enhance the environment at all times.
- Introducing site-specific management plans.
- Reducing pesticide use.
- Working towards recycling all of our green waste and utilising woodland products wherever possible.
- Promoting community involvement through volunteer opportunities.
- Promotion of environmental issues through education and publicity.
- To actively seek external funding.
- To provide operational efficiency.
- Ensuring our consultancy service is effective and up-to-date.
- Working at every opportunity with local communities and partners.
- Seeking to continually improve the services we provide.
