Conservation bodies in the High Weald recently joined forces to look at how best to manage the heritage rich landscape in the area.
Nature Reserve managers and advisors from Natural England, the Forestry Commission, Kent & Sussex Wildlife Trusts, Butterfly Conservation, BTCV, Buchan Country Park and the Woodland Trust visited the RSPB’s Broadwater Warren in November to see our progress and to share best practice.
The group included experts in bats, dormice, reptiles, archaeology and, of course, birds.
The woods, heaths and fields in this area are rich in hidden natural and historic features. The task of identifying and conserving these important features is now, more than ever, an important part of land management and wildlife conservation.
