Hidden amongst 81 acres of ancient woodland, our Educational Nature Reserve near Leatherhead is the heart of Surrey Wildlife Trust’s education programme. Since 1971, Nower Wood has inspired thousands of young people to understand, love and protect the natural world.
The Centre consisted of a series of wooden huts, some of which were bought second-hand over 40 years ago. Sadly, they were no longer fit for purpose and were slowly rotting away. There was a real risk of the buildings becoming unsafe so we desperately needed a new building to continue our vital education work.
The project is expected to cost around £1.1m and we have been working extremely hard to raise the money needed.
The new building is now up and we are now raising funds to fit out the interior.
We are now close to being able to welcome our first visitors in Spring 2017 and just need that last push to complete our exciting new facilities.
