Wildlife Walks, Talks and Courses in August 2019

Last August the South Downs looked more like the Serengeti. The long hot summer and lack of rain turned the lush green hills to a rather over-baked brown.  The few days of rainfall that were scattered throughout this July should hopefully prevent Sussex from turning too crispy this year.  That rain may have interrupted a few barbecue plans but was no doubt a welcome relief to our plants and the animal’s that feed on them.

We’ve organised another packed programme of events throughout August which will give you the chance to get out, experience and learn more about the wildlife of your county. Whether its birds, butterflies, bats, moths, owls or plant seeds there’s something for you this month. Come along and join us in August.
