Pevensey Levels Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

This aims to align this BAP with the Sussex Biodiversity Action Plan. The document also demonstrates the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and ditch maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the Government’s UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate. Bill Gower Chairman of the Board PEVENSEY AND CUCKMERE WLMB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS & ACRONYMS 1 1

  • Working with Others to Restore Wilder Landscapes
    Working with others to restore Wilder landscapes Annual Report of the Wilder Landscapes Project April 2019 – March 2020 F Southgate 0 Contents Introduction 2 Summary of Project Achievements 2019 - 2020 3 Our Work Advising Landowners 4 Catchment & Landscape Scale Work 7 Policy Work & Strategic Advice 19 Linking People and Landscapes 20 Our Volunteers 26 Finance and Fundraising 27 Appendix 30 1 Introduction Sussex Wildlife Trust’s (SWT) Wilder Landscapes project supports local communities to restore wildlife-rich landscapes and the essential natural services that we all need for health and wellbeing. We help to deliver Nature Recover Networks, Natural Flood Management, Climate resilience and Wilding as well as caring for Sussex Wildlife Trust Nature Reserves, and supporting a multitude of other landowners, stakeholders and projects across Sussex. Our Wilder Landscapes projects have been delivering landscape scale conservation for over 19 years. We have also been running an innovative Natural Flood Management project, Sussex Flow Initiative, for over 8 years. With Climate change and biodiversity loss two of the biggest natural crises that we have faced in recorded history, now is the time to take as much positive and practical action that we can. Neither people, nor wildlife can survive without the essential services that our countryside provides including water purification, flood storage, carbon storage, food provision, access to nature health benefits, pollination services and more. We focus on creating community, climate and nature resilience through adaptation, collaboration and innovation. This year we have achieved some fantastic things with the help of local communities and our project partners. We have given wildlife advice on over 22,000 acres of land, for at least 84 unique landowners, and easily reached at least 2,000,000 people through our joint events, media and partnership working.

    EASTBOURNE DOWNLAND ESTATE WHOLE ESTATE PLAN 2020-2045 The Vision for the Eastbourne Downland Estate over the next 25 years Conserve the iconic downland landscape and cultural heritage of the Estate, so that these special qualities can be enjoyed, understood and valued by the public, with access for all, contributing to Eastbourne’s sense of community, wellbeing and belonging and instil a strong sense of public stewardship that encourages visitors and people from all backgrounds to actively care for the Estate and invest in it. Maintain and enhance the ‘natural capital’ of the Estate, so that high-quality, well-managed habitats are resilient and adaptable to climate change, pests or disease; support wildlife networks throughout the landscape; and continue to deliver the widest range of ecosystem services into the future. Ensure that these ecosystem services are enjoyed, valued and understood by the public, with all Eastbourne residents feeling they are beneficiaries of the Estate – not just those who are able to visit regularly. Ensure that our farmers are supported and valued as stewards of our land, its soils and its wildlife, with sustainable and profitable businesses that can continue to flourish and innovate. Protect the Estate for future generations, ensuring that it is self-sustaining and financially resilient, built on diversified income streams, promoting innovation, craftsmanship, rural creative industries, and high-quality visitor experiences, supporting tourism and local communities. 1 prepared an endorsed WEP (Strategic Policy
