Consultation has been a significant element in the preparation and updating of a series of management plans for Reigate Heath (a sensitive lowland heath SSSI with a diverse range of recreational uses.) Consultation undertaken in 2010 has been the most comprehensive to date, designed to reach as wide an audience as possible and to address controversial issues such as tree felling; Exhibitions, guided walks and a public meeting have been used to stimulate discussion, and extensive publicity (including preparation and distribution of flyers and posters and use of local websites) has significantly increased public participation
