As the country emerges from our “battle” with Covid 19, I am looking forward to enjoying this summer and really appreciating the wildlife in our local area. Whilst it will be great to have all restrictions removed, I hope that we do not lose the increased community spirit and politeness that developed during the lockdowns. Our first summer field outings have started and have proved very popular. Indeed, the limited space available on each walk, combined with the heavy demand from members, has meant that the field outing organiser’s husband has had to miss out! However, I am hopeful that I can attend the next outing, when numbers will not be limited. Alongside the summer field outings, we will also be carrying out our annual surveys of the ecological succession at Medmerry. I would like to take this opportunity to remind members that we have three pieces of equipment available for members to borrow. We have two types of Bat detector available, a static one and a handheld device. If you would like to book a slot to borrow either of these please contact Linda Smith. Following on from last year, I will be carrying out some bat surveys around the NT North Wood, using the handheld detector. If you would like to accompany me, please drop me a line.

  • Heyshott, South Downs, East Dean
    point your feet on a new path Heyshott, South Downs, East Dean Distance: 12½ km=7½ miles moderate walking with long easy sections Region: West Sussex Date written: 21-apr-2013 Author: Hautboy Date revised: 13-may-2019 Refreshments: East Dean, Heyshott Maps: Explorer 120 (Chichester) and 121 (Arundel) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Hills, woodland, views, villages, pubs In Brief This is an unforgettable circular walk between two quiet downland villages. In between them is the escarpment of the South Downs, steep in the north and sloping gently down on the south side. There is a moderate climb at the start but, after that, the gradients are not too taxing. The terrain is mainly woodland but on the way you will be surprised by sudden views. There is an excellent friendly village pub, with good food, in each village. Note that the Unicorn in Heyshott is closed on Monday (for info ring 01730- 813486). The Star and Garter in East Dean has re-opened (as Apr 2019). It's always advisable to check (t heir number is 01243-811318). There are one or two short sections along this walk with nettles or scratchy undergrowth – enough to make shorts uncomfortable. The ground under- foot is generally firm and dry, although possibly in wet conditions the path back to Heyshott at the end might have some muddy patches.

  • Meadowlands in Time: Re-Envisioning the Lost Meadows of the Rother Valley, West Sussex, UK
    Meadowlands in time: Re-envisioning the lost meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, UK Alastair W. Pearson 1 and Philip J. Soar 2 1 Department of Geography, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3HE, UK. [email protected] (corresponding author) +44(0)23 9284 2472 2 Department of Geography, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3HE, UK. [email protected] +44(0)23 9284 2482 1 Meadowlands in time: Re-envisioning the lost meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, UK Abstract Historically, meadows provided an essential crop of hay and common grazing in a delicately managed sustainable system in harmony with their environment and were of vital importance to the agricultural cycle of farming communities. Using archival and remotely sensed data, this paper provides a speculative re-construction of a former floodplain water management system and examines the changing fortunes of the floodplain meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, revealing the process of change in both the physical and cultural landscape. The inevitable decline of the floodplain meadows of the Rother was part of a nationwide transformation brought about by the introduction of new farming practices operating in a fast- changing tenurial landscape, dominated by th e growth of landed estates where commoners ’ rights were viewed with growing contempt. Today, the current vista of the Rother reveals only remnants of the past landscape where marginal habitats, riparian fringes and meadows have made way for a monoculture of permanent pasture of poor conservation value, supporting low biodiversity and offering little to mitigate against flood risk and poor water quality.

Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.
