Cattle grazing project continues at Epsom Common

Cattle have now arrived at our Epsom Common Local Nature Reserve!

We introduced grazing on Epsom Common in 1997 to help manage and restore the wood pasture there. Since then we've seen increases in silver-washed fritillary butterflies and breeding birds, and wildflowers are flourishing along with our reptiles and insects.

To help keep the cows and visiting dogs and people safe, please close gates behind you and keep dogs under close control. Close control means that your dog is either on a fixed lead, walking to heel or will return when called.

Thanks to the Epsom Common Association, the Lower Mole Partnership and Natural England for their work on this project.
