Friends of Deepdene

FoD Working Parties are now on Wednesdays only
If you are interested in joining us, please contact us via the email address below

The Friends of Deepdene is a wildlife conservation group with a keen interest in local history. In particular we are dedicated to restoring the historic Hope family legacy on the old Deepdene Estate in and around Dorking.

Members of the group are all volunteers. The Group is sponsored and directed by Mole Valley District Council and was until recently supported and guided by the Surrey Wildlife Trust.

The volunteers meet twice a week to carry out maintenance, restoration and conservation tasks covering over 85 Acres of the old Deepdene estate, including Deepdene Terrace, Chart Park, Glory Wood, Betchworth Castle and Betchworth Park.
