Surrey Region

A world inspired by birds and informed by science.

Make your birding count – volunteer and support BTO surveys, schemes and projects!

The local Surrey BTO region runs several surveys across the patch. Since the BTO Surrey region is made up of a number of grid squares its coverage isn't quite the same as the County of Surrey and includes small parts of neighbouring counties.

* Maintain good coverage of surveys in the Surrey region, through recruitment and providing support to volunteers.

* Foster a vibrant community engaged and kept up to date with news and feedback of the results of their collective efforts.
