Community Group Focus: The Woodland, Flora & Fauna Group

Continuing a series of blogs focusing on community wildlife and conservation groups across Sussex, Michael Nailard tells us about the great work being undertaken by The Woodland, Flora & Fauna Group.

The Woodland, Flora & Fauna Group undertake nature conservation projects in the countryside of the rural settlements of southern Mid Sussex District.

The group was originally formed to undertake an area biodiversity study of the local countryside of Hurstpierpoint, Sayers Common and Goddard’s Green in 2004 and from the results determined where remedial action to the local natural environment was required. As a result of this study, nature conservation initiatives were commenced to enhance the survival prospects for countryside and wildlife which has progressively expanded to encompass the southern half of Mid Sussex. The group now includes projects for owl conservation, bat conservation, dormouse conservation, wild meadow restoration and continuing maintenance, woodland pond restoration and continuing maintenance and the management of a small wooded nature area.

Each of the projects were researched and implemented with knowledge provided by expert bodies and trained/qualified group members. All necessary license qualifications and permits to undertake these activities have been acquired to conform to current legislation. All the projects have achieved great success and have been progressively expanded to cover larger areas to maximise their effectiveness.

Most of the group’s work is on land in private ownership which is carried out with the agreement of the landowners. The group’s close contact with many of them to undertake the biodiversity study has forged a relationship of mutual trust and respect which has enabled many of these projects to be undertaken. We provide wildlife and countryside advice and assistance to all members of the public within our area of operation when approached.

The Woodland, Flora & Fauna Group undertake as much work as their volunteer resource allows to enhance and conserve the surrounding countryside and wildlife. Our natural environment sustains all forms of life. We all have a responsibility to preserve it. Our group has the commitment to help achieve it. If anyone shares this group sentiment and would like to help, please join us.
