Biodiversity and wildlife

We have a dedicated biodiversity team who work with Sutton Nature Conservation Volunteers to manage our borough's nature reserves and wider biodiversity.

The team:

• protects, manages and enhances the local environment
• promotes awareness and understanding amongst the general public
• works with the planning department to advise on wildlife issues associated with planning applications
• carries out ecological management within Sutton to ensure wildlife-friendly habitats. 
• maintains up to date, accurate and accessible records of the habitats and species in the borough
• offer advice and coordinate actions that can help wildlife locally
• educates local children and the general public about the local environment and the wildlife in the borough
