Wilder Landscapes

At Sussex Wildlife Trust, we are the custodians of many wonderful nature reserves. We also work hard to make all Sussex landscapes better for people and wildlife. In the current climate and biodiversity crisis, we need more nature and more connected natural landscapes everywhere in Sussex. We also need to be restoring wild nature at scale.

Our Wilder Landscapes team works with landowners and communities to enable nature to lead its own recovery. We are a committed group of Land Advisors and Project Officers, and our work includes the restoration of lost ecosystem engineers such as the Beaver, supporting nature based solutions to climate change, advising on rewilding and natural processes, and connecting landowners across large areas to create healthy and thriving nature recovery networks.

Now more than ever nature needs us to be open minded and creative about how we manage the interface between humans and wild nature. Wilder Landscapes aims to be a leader and an enabler, and to empower others to take positive action for nature.

We are excited to be working in partnership with many people for a more resilient and adaptable future.
