This is one of the largest tracts of lowland heathland in the region where 90% has been lost in the past 100 years. This endangered environment supports an array of plant and animal communities and it is because of this rich bodiversity that it has been notified a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), by Natural England. It is also part of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA) for it's heathland bird interest. Three of the species found here are protected by European legislation.

Hazeley Heath is a peaceful and relaxing environment for those wishing to enjoy nature at it's best. The southern section of the common is owned and managed by Hart District Council and the northern section is owned by the Timpany Trust.
