Natural conservation on the Polesden Lacey estate

Welcome to our blog about natural conservation on the Polesden Lacey estate. As you might expect, our rangers spend most of their time out in the woods rather than sat at a desk, so we plan to update this page as often as we can. Check back here every so often for the latest about our local wildlife, seasonal conservation work and vacancies in the ranger team.
