Until 1989 this approximate 14 acre, or 6 hectare, site was a wasteland that was used for dumping. In 1989 it was bought by Guildford Borough Council and has since been turned into a community wildlife area by a partnership of the Council, local residents, the Surrey Wildlife Trust, and the Merrist Wood Campus of Guildford College. The partnership's website is here http://www.foxcornerwildlife.org.uk/
