- Maintenance regime: The meadows are mowed annually in late summer.
- Long term vision: Clandon Wood aims to conserve a valuable mix of habitats sustainably to provide a place of natural beauty that is also a protected haven for a multitude of local flora and fauna. Clandon Wood has been designed as wild flower meadows and managed woodland.
