South Downs National Park Trust

Celebrating this good news from the South Downs National Park Trust, via their recently published video.

And we love that we’ve helped in some small way with the fund raising for the Trust’s valuable work.
Over the past few years, together, with the help of our wonderful customers and event-goers, we have donated almost £10,000 to the South Downs National Park Trust.
You can view our events calendar, and come along to future events which will raise more funds to help conserve our wonderful local landscape for future generations.

Together, we’ve specifically supported the Beelines and ReNature Projects.

Beelines works with landowners and other partners, with specialist advice from the conservation charity PlantLife, to create wildflower corridors across downland, linking species rich chalk grassland to sites which are in need of pollination.  

Why do we need to ReNature the South Downs?

The South Downs National Park is home to some incredibly beautiful and rare habitats and wildlife.
The chalk grassland has up to 40 species in one square metre and our lowland heath is rarer than rainforest and home to all of our native reptiles and amphibians.
Even here, nature is under pressure, and it needs our help.
Currently 25% of the South Downs National Park is managed for nature. Together, with the South Downs National Park Authority, the Trust want to increase this to 33% by 2030!
That’s an extra 13,000 hectares, the equivalent of around 21,000 new football pitches.
