Tolworth Court Farm Rewilding Day

The site is an important Local Nature Reserve and valued green space for many people in the area.

As a volunteer, you will be learning and undertaking traditional and wildlife-friendly management techniques to enhance the site and encourage wildlife-friendly behaviour by the public.

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved, meet new people and learn skills such as vegetation clearance to prepare for our new stock fence, as preparation for the reintroduction of cattle to the site. This can also include clearing rubbish and debris from the site.

About the site

2026 is set to be a momentous year for this sprawling 42-hectare mosaic of grazed and ungrazed pastures, ancient hedgerows and small copses. With a history stretching all the way back to the days of the Domesday Book, we hope this site will soon be as rich in wildlife as it is steeped in culture and history.

Our exciting plans for the site include the introduction of locally extinct grazing and browsing animals. This will help to kick off the next phase of the project.

The site hosts an amazing variety of wildlife from the diversity of grassland species typical of former hay meadows to the numerous bird species inhabiting the edges of marginal habitats and the riparian habitats of the Bonesgate Stream, to species of special significance to the site such as the Meadow Brown butterfly.

We have secured funding to expand our rewilding operations on this site significantly, for wildlife and people throughout 2026, and we would love you to join us at Tolworth Court Farm Fields.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to book your spot early! Join us for a night of discovery and connect with the wildlife of Tolworth Court Farm.
