Our Impact

Reigate Area Conservation Volunteers celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2025.

Over the years we’ve helped restore areas such as Redhill Common, Buckland Pond and many others.

In 2025 we completed a total of 850 Volunteer Days and
42 students achieved their Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Here is a snapshot of the difference our volunteers have made in and around the Reigate Area.
