Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve, also known as the “Bird Sanctuary”, is Croydon’s 81-hectare (200-acre) gateway to the Surrey countryside. This ancient woodland is home to towering oak, beech, ash, and sweet chestnut trees, with areas of coppiced hazel adding to its rich biodiversity.

The Friends of Selsdon Wood are volunteers working with Croydon Council to ensure that Selsdon Wood is maintained for the benefit of the flora and fauna, as well as for the enjoyment of the public. We are the Council’s eyes and ears – reporting problems that occur. We are grateful to the many dog walkers and others who also ‘keep an eye out’ whilst enjoying the fields and woods and advise of problems too.
