Dollypers Hill practical conservation days
Dollypers Hill is a Surrey Wildlife Trust reserve on the borders of Kenley and Coulsdon.
It lies mostly between Old Lodge Lane and Caterham Drive.
It is a mixture of ancient woodland, open grassy areas and scrub and has been managed by volunteers since 1988.

This year was particularly good for the Small Blue butterfly (shown above)which is rare in Britain as a whole but was flying in good numbers here at Dollypers Hill. The Small Blue is one of the smallest butterflies but we also have one of the largest, the Silver-washed Fritillary (shown below)which likes to feed on Buddleja and Brambles.

We are looking to encourage more local people to help look after their local countryside and wildlife.
