Colony Bog and Bagshot Heath is a 1,130.5-hectare (2,794-acre) biological

Local Nature Reserve[6] which is managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust[7]

Habitats in this site include wet and dry heath, bog and unimproved grassland. Much of the site is a military danger area and as a result little is known of its rare fauna and flora. Waterlogged areas have a layer of peat with a mass of

peat mosses and a diverse bog flora. Areas of open heath provide a habitat for a variety of heathland bird species to breed.[8]
