Funding is available to support environmental initiatives in Surrey to combat the growing impact of climate change.
Surrey County Council said community groups and parish and town councils could apply for a share of £50,000 to help restore habitats, enhance green spaces, reduce flooding and wildfires, and improve air quality.
The council said Surrey’s environmental challenges included a 200% year-on-year increase in outdoor fires between June 2024 and June 2025.
Marisa Heath, cabinet member for environment, said that “11.5% of our native species are thought to be locally extinct, with more species declining in number”.
