Ash Ranges is a 1,392-hectare (3,440-acre) nature reserve west of Pirbright in Surrey. It is owned by the Ministry of Defence and managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust.[1] It is part of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area[2] and the Ash to Brookwood Heaths Site of Special Scientific Interest[3]
This large area of dry heath provides a habitat for many rare plants, invertebrates and reptiles, including the rare sand lizard.[4] There are flora such as the carnivorous round-leaved sundew, bell heather and early-purple orchid, and heath tiger and green tiger beetles, while birds include nightjars, woodlarks and Dartford warblers.[1]
There is no access to danger areas when red flags are flying.
