We’re delighted to welcome India Davies as the new National Trust Ranger for Limpsfield Common.

With a unique background blending cultural insight and engineering knowledge from her BASc at UCL, India brings both technical skill and creative problem-solving to caring for this special landscape.

Her experience spans conservation, education, and practical land management: from her recent role as Growing Together Project Officer with Surrey Hills National Landscape, to hands-on work as a groundsperson, gardener, and educator.

Skilled in everything from hedgelaying and biodiversity surveys to volunteer management and sustainable gardening, India combines practical know-how with a deep respect for heritage and ecology.

Passionate about gardening, local heritage, and community engagement, she is committed to preserving Limpsfield Common’s biodiversity while inspiring others to connect with the outdoors.

India’s been deep in training since she started with courses in tree felling and chainsaw competence now achieved (top of her class too!) Say hello if you spot her on the Chart and Common, particularly on Thursday mornings when she can be found working away with our wonderful Taskforce.
