Adventure or unwind in our beautiful nature reserves
Pond-dipping, puddle-jumping, rock-pooling or birdwatching? Long summer picnics, brisk dog rambles or calm, quiet moments? Whatever you enjoy about nature, you’ll find it in one of our 26 public nature reserves. From woods to meadows, marshes to beaches, there’s a perfect spot for you.

Ambitious £10-million plan to create local ‘wildlands’
Wild Sussex is our bold plan to create seven ‘wildlands’ across Sussex that will transform and expand spaces for wildlife.
On land, we’ll revitalise six of our existing nature reserves, by restoring, connecting and expanding them to create resilient ecosystems that support wildlife and local communities. And at sea, we’ll focus on doing the same for our marine environment.
But to do this we need your help – our Wild Sussex Fund aims to raise £10 million by the end of 2030, our most ambitious appeal ever.
