Weald to Waves - 100 Mile Wildlife Corridor 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.T892YeQo
"Ambition! The big idea.	Vision, excitement, purpose"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Goal 1

To create a nationally significant wildlife corridor of 100 miles in length, from the Ashdown Forest, via Knepp Wildland, taking in three rivers to bolster the kelp forests off the Sussex Coast. As farmers and land managers, we will register over 20,000 hectares as a ribbon of largely contiguous natural habitat so that wildlife can travel through the landscape more easily. We will collaborate with councils, businesses, services, charities and community groups to join the dots.

Goal 2

We will promote nature as a provider of vital ecosystem services - clean water, fertile soils, pollination, carbon capture and flood control. This will involve sustainable farming along the corridor, and across Sussex, to protect and enhance those services and a reduction of the pollutants that are compromising our landscape, and flowing into our waterways and marine environment. We will track and evidence our progress and push for accountability and transparency for all those with a responsibility for land and water management. From Wealden forests to kelp forests, rewilded gardens to farm hedgerows, restored rivers to wild beaches, and from butterfly banks to wildflower verges - all efforts will be recognised.

Goal 3

We will engage people and communities across Sussex by creating new opportunities to understand, enjoy and protect nature along the corridor. We help to track and connect projects that enhance life along the corridor route, weaving socio-economic and environmental objectives together so that communities can thrive alongside nature. This will involve harnessing regional capacity and knowledge and ensuring that all voices are heard.

The primary goal is to allow our lawns to be homes for a variety of pollinating plants, not just a desert of grass.

If you are interested in how your garden - not just the lawn - might better support pollinators, have a look at the Royal Horticultural Society guide.
