Snaky Lane Community Wildlife Group is a voluntary organisation established in 1993. Our aim is "to conserve Snaky Lane, its flora, fauna & wildlife habitats as a community resource, & to promote its use by local people as a place of quiet enjoyment & study of the countryside".Through our 10 year site management plan & support from both Guildford Borough Council as landowner & the Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership, we have a clear vision for the future of Snaky Lane Local Nature Reserve.

We are an important asset to local people as an area of open space in what is otherwise a semi-urban area. From school children to dog walkers, everyone is welcome to enjoy Snaky Lane. Our nature trail & supporting guide is designed to plant the seed of conservation with youngsters. Hard surface paths & benches allow those less mobile to access the site. A picnic table offers local workers a place for lunch away from the desk or students somewhere else to do their homework.

Over the past 24 years, the group has successfully delivered many projects: Obtaining Local Nature Reserve status for the site;Digging a pond to increase habitat areas;Installing hard surface paths & benches to improve access for all;Introducing autumn livestock grazing as a traditional form of meadow management;Developing a nature trail & accompanying guide.Whether a visitor or a task volunteer, the local community have come together to recognise & value the importance of Snaky Lane LNR.
