  • Influencing regional and local authorities, and seeking high standards of town and country planning so as to protect and enhance the landscape and charater of the Surrey Hills;
  • Providing activities for members and supporters of the Society, which include walks, talks, socail events, advice, a website, a newsletter and other means for members and others to hear and share what is happening, exchange views and take part;
  • Protecting and improving the facilities for recreational use of the area, balancing local concerns with visitor enjoyment and working with other organisations so as to ensure this;

 

  • Promoting and championing farming, forestry and local industries, including tourism, and raising the awareness of local produce and crafts which have an influence on the character and history of the Surrey Hills;
  • Seeking to encourage conservation alongside the improvement of the amenities and features which make the Surrey Hills special.
