AMBERLEY SOCIETY
Conserving and Improving Amberley West Sussex

Amberley resident Alex Briggs is the Project Officer for the pioneering Weald to Waves nature recovery project. His talk at the Amberley Society meeting on Friday, February 23 will have a particular focus on Amberley and our surroundings, plus updating us with the latest developments. He is a very knowledgeable and engaging young speaker and introduces his talk as follows: “Weald to Waves is a partnership network of farmers, land managers, councils, researchers, wildlife charities, schools, gardeners and community groups, working to establish a 100-mile nature recovery corridor across Sussex. While communities like Amberley are set in beautiful countryside, intensive human activities have profoundly altered the entire landscape. As we face biodiversity and climate crises, connecting our fragmented landscape is essential to restore biodiversity, capture carbon, enhance food production and enrich our rural economy. “We need to do better, think bigger and join the dots. By working together, we are establishing a nature recovery corridor from the High Weald to the Sussex coast and revived seas, encompassing over 20,000 hectares of contiguous habitat. Come along to find out more about the project, and what it means for nature recovery in Amberley.” Everyone is welcome to the meeting, which is also the AGM, in St Michael’s Church Hall at 7.30pm. For nonmembers there is a nominal charge of £3 and children are admitted free
