Youth Rangers Brighton
Deneways Wild Future is a youth-led reserve project that gives young people aged 16-25 the opportunity to manage and maintain a nature reserve whilst working in partnership with staff and local groups.
The Deneway Nature Reserve is a linear greenspace stretching along over half a kilometre of the main rail link between London and Brighton. As a former brownfield site, it is a valuable urban environment consisting of secondary woodland, mixed scrub and grassland. The reserve offers a sheltered wildlife corridor from open downland into the suburbs. It is a hidden gem, home to a wide variety of wildlife, the site offers a great space for volunteer groups, school visits, corporate groups, community projects and forest school trainees.

The site is readily accessible by public transport and bicycle. Please note that The Deneway is a closed reserve, public access is only permitted as part of Sussex Wildlife Trust's organised events.
