Projects

We believe that connecting with nature should be a really important part of everybody's life, whatever their age. A healthy environment relies on people who care. People who spend time in natural spaces care more about environmental issues and seek out natural spaces.

That's why we are working in local communities all across Sussex to help engage with and re-connect people with nature through our nature-based community projects.

Many issues we need to deal with to support nature's recovery Sussex are at such a large scale that we can only tackle them by working together with communities, government organisations, landowners and others. Sussex Wildlife Trust is working at a landscape and river catchment scale to deliver and support partnership projects wherever we can.
