More about Sussex Wildlife Trust

Sussex Wildlife Trust has a thriving department working with children and young people. We teach around 20,000 children a year through:

• Visits to our main centres at Woods Mill (Henfield), Seven Sisters and Ashdown Forest where we have a huge range of different programmes to inspire children and support the curriculum, for all ages from Nursery to Tertiary
• Our Forest School programme, giving regular contact with the natural environment for all ages
• Our Outreach programme, taking environmental education into schools using their own grounds and local green spaces 
• Developing school grounds, working with pupils and teachers to make their grounds better for wildlife and learning
• A Youth Ranger project, giving young people  the chance to volunteer in the natural environment
• Visits by uniformed and other groups and birthday parties
• A huge range of events throughout the County, from bushcraft to Teddy Bears Picnic to seashore scavenging

Wildlife Watch groups

We also have Wildlife Watch groups for members with regular activities in three locations and Watch roadshows throughout the County for those who don’t live as close to our main Watch groups.

Our Youth Council 

We were the first Trust to set up a Youth Council to give young people a voice in the Trust and help us involve more young people in our work.
