VV Summer 2018.Pages Village Voice Issue 58 Summer 2018 Ardingly Reservoir: Something for Everyone…… Ardingly Reservoir is the perfect place to enjoy the summer weather. Once you’ve parked in the car park and taken a short walk to the top of the grassy hill, the beautiful reservoir stretches out in front of you. Turning left, you are greeted with the Activity Centre, boasting an array of activities to get the whole family out enjoying the water. An hour on a stand up paddle board is a good way to explore the reservoir or if you’re bringing the family, hire a large SUP which can hold 4 adults. Alternatively, renting a sit-on-top kayak is a good way to get younger children out on the water and paddling away in the sun. The centre also offer parties, so why not celebrate a special occasion or take a day out of the office and build and race rafts together! If water based activity is not for you, turn right and you can follow the newly revamped Kingfisher Trail, which will lead you on a 45 minute walk around the right hand side of the reservoir. If you would like a longer walk carry on over the causeway onto the bridle path and follow the Kingfisher Trail up the Balcombe Arm. You will be able to enjoy wonderful views across the water and perhaps spot some grebes, buzzards, mallards and perhaps even a kingfisher. And of course there is always the onsite café offering hot and cold drinks, cakes, sandwiches and ice creams and and is open every weekend and in the school holidays. It makes for a perfect destination on a summers day when you ask yourself, ‘what are we going to do today?” And in no time at all, everyone will be smiling!

The Dolphin Ladies Swimming Club opens its doors on page 29. And on page 31 the Lindfield and Cuckfield Probus Club explains what its recent highlights have been.

Could that be you? Read about Clean Getaway on page 15. A couple of folk from the village are celebrating on our pages this month. Oliver Manchester has done tremendously well to have been added to the England U11 Junior Chess Squad. Read his story on page 11.

  • The Sussex Biodiversity Opportunity Areas
    The Sussex Biodiversity Opportunity Areas Sussex Biodiversity Partnership Sussex Biodiversity Partnership was set up in 1996. It contains representatives from a range of organisations including conservation bodies, local government and statutory agencies working together to conserve and enhance the habitats and species of Sussex. What are Biodiversity Opportunity Areas? Sussex Biodiversity Partnership is developing a vision for delivering the Sussex Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) through a focus on Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs). BOAs represent the targeted landscape-scale approach to conserving biodiversity in Sussex and the basis for an ecological network. BAP targets will be linked to BOAs wherever possible, increasing effectiveness of work and making reporting easier. Conservation need outweighs available funding. BOAs identify where the greatest opportunities for habitat creation and restoration lie, enabling the efficient focusing of resources to where they will have the greatest positive conservation impact, representing a more efficient way of delivering action on the ground. BOAs will have multiple benefits, improving the natural environment and providing quality areas in which people want to live and work. A wide range of organisations and individuals will have a role to play in making the ecological network a reality. Why Biodiversity Opportunity Areas? Traditionally nature conservation focused on protecting important sites. This approach has achieved a lot, however it alone cannot sustain biodiversity in the long-term. Many once common species are still in decline. Important sites are still fragmented and isolated from one another. In order to successfully conserve a viable natural environment, we also need to take into account physical factors such as water and nutrient cycling.
