Amber on the wild side

Amber Rudd, MP for Hastings and Rye, met with Dr Tony Whitbread, Chief Executive of the Sussex Wildlife Trust, last week (9/9/16) to talk about wildlife and environment issues post Brexit.

After the meeting, Dr Whitbread said, ‘I was delighted to have the opportunity to meet Ms Rudd in her constituency office in St Leonards-on-Sea, near Hastings and talk to her about some of the issues in her constituency with regard to wildlife and wild places. We talked about key environmental issues and opportunities including improving the contact between local people and nature especially in urban areas, and how to improve woodland management to the benefit people living in the area as well as the wildlife.’

Amber said, ‘It was fascinating to learn of the valuable work being undertaken in the constituency of Hastings and Rye by the Sussex Wildlife Trust, and of the ways in which woodland management can be improved.’
