Colony Bog and Bagshot Heath is a 1,130.5-hectare (2,794-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest between Camberley and Woking in Surrey, England.[1][2] Part of it is a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I.[3] It is part of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area[4] and the Thursley, Ash, Pirbright and Chobham Special Area of Conservation.[5] It includes Brentmoor Heath, a 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]
