Conservation & Stewardship

Windsor Great Park is home to a vast array of flora and fauna, with countless species that hold international wildlife and environmental significance.

A significant proportion of Windsor Great Park is designated by Natural England as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) – as well as being designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) under the European Union Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds.

We work hard to achieve a successful balance between managing our environmental responsibilities whilst providing an attractive, safe and well maintained destination for over five million visitors a year. Please visit our page on Sustainability to find out more.

The sheer scale and continuity of tree coverage across Windsor Great Park provides an incredible ecosystem, both above and below the ground, which has led to an outstanding wealth of biodiversity. Our conservation teams work hard to maintain these varied habitats, whilst also exploring opportunities to create new areas for native species to thrive.

Trees and Grasses

Windsor Great Park holds SSSI and SAC designations and is known for its native oaks, ancient woodland and grasslands.

Dead Wood Habitats

Our trees are managed carefully, both as they grow and as they eventually fall - where some are left to create natural dead wood habitats.

Birds

Whether you are a keen ornithologist, a casual bird-watcher or somewhere in between, Windsor Great Park has much to offer around this vast natural landscape.

Wildlife

Windsor Great Park is home not only to our resident Red Deer herd, but also to a herd of Long Horn cattle which roam around the native oaks.

Sustainability

Working practices on the Windsor Estate are already being challenged in various ways to improve our sustainability – helping to make us Greener on the outside, and the inside!
