1% For Nature

Real support for real nature recovery.

Giving Back to Nature with Every Order

Every little bit counts. That’s why Naturcontact donates 1% of its revenue from every order to support Surrey Wildlife Trust and practical initiatives connected to nature recovery, tree planting, habitat restoration and community conservation. It’s a long-term commitment to helping protect the landscapes, habitats and wildlife that make our connection with nature possible.

What our 1% helps support

Our commitment helps Surrey Wildlife Trust support nature recovery across Surrey restoring habitats, creating space for wildlife and helping communities reconnect with the natural world.

Habitat Recovery

Restoring and reconnecting grassland, heathland, woodland and wetland habitats across Surrey.

Wildlife & Biodiversity

Creating healthier habitats where plants, pollinators, birds and other wildlife can recover and thrive.

Communities & Nature

Helping local communities improve green spaces, participate in conservation and reconnect with nature.

Our Impact in Action

Real examples from Surrey Wildlife Trust - Q1 2026

During the first quarter of 2026, Surrey Wildlife Trust made progress across projects focused on nature recovery, community conservation and long-term habitat management across Surrey.

Here are some examples of that work in action.

Creating space for nature to recover

In January 2026, Surrey Wildlife Trust took on the management of Mindenhurst Park, a 38-hectare site with woodland, open grassland and wetland habitats.

Long-term management will help improve biodiversity, strengthen connections between habitats and maintain an accessible natural space where local communities can experience and learn about nature.

NEIGHBOURHOODS FOR NATURE

Bringing nature recovery closer to home

Nature recovery doesn’t happen only in large reserves. Through Neighbourhoods for Nature and the wider Wilder Communities programme, Surrey Wildlife Trust helps local groups improve the everyday green spaces where people and wildlife live side by side.

PRACTICAL CONSERVATION

Nature recovery in practice

Healthy habitats often need active management. Surrey Wildlife Trust carries out practical conservation work to keep valuable landscapes open and create the conditions specialist plants, insects and wildlife need to thrive.

Conservation grazing is part of this approach. The Trust has also secured the lease on Elm Farm in east Surrey, strengthening its ability to manage and expand its grazing programme while creating opportunities for nature-friendly farming and environmental education.

Protecting Surrey’s precious habitats

Surrey is home to a remarkable mix of heathland, grassland, woodland and wetland habitats. Surrey Wildlife Trust works across these landscapes to protect wildlife, restore biodiversity and reconnect fragmented habitats.
Among them are Surrey’s internationally important lowland heathlands rare ecosystems that provide a home for some of the UK’s most threatened wildlife.

Why heathlands matter

Heathlands are open, wildlife-rich landscapes supporting an extraordinary mix of birds, reptiles, plants and invertebrates, while also contributing to carbon storage and flood resilience.

Around 80% of the UK’s lowland heathland has been lost over the past two centuries. Surrey still holds around 13% of what remains, making its protection particularly important.

A home for rare wildlife

Surrey’s heathlands provide vital refuge for wildlife that depends on these increasingly rare landscapes.

Species including the smooth snake, sand lizard, woodlark, Dartford warbler, nightjar and heath tiger beetle rely on carefully managed heathland to survive and recover.

Nature Recovery Across Surrey

Surrey Wildlife Trust combines practical conservation, habitat management, scientific knowledge and community involvement to help nature recover at a meaningful scale.

Its wider work includes:

Restoring & reconnecting habitats
Helping fragmented landscapes function again as connected ecosystems.

Protecting threatened wildlife
Managing habitats so specialist species have the space and conditions they need.

Working with communities
Giving local people opportunities to participate in nature recovery close to home.

Building resilient landscapes
Using long-term, nature-friendly land management to strengthen habitats for the future.

Our Commitment Continues

Nature recovery takes time. Habitats need to be managed season after season, communities supported and wildlife continually monitored.

Our 1% for Nature commitment is not a one-off campaign. As our partnership develops, we’ll continue sharing real updates on the projects, habitats and communities supported through Surrey Wildlife Trust.

Because reconnecting with nature should also mean helping to restore it.
