Local Nature Partnership

Sussex Wildlife Trust, on behalf of Sussex Biodiversity Partnership is undertaking the first stages of establishing a countywide Local Nature Partnership.
The purpose of a Local Nature Partnership is to bring together a wide range of organisations that can work together to improve the range of benefits and services provided by a healthy natural environment.

We will be holding workshops in the New Year to bring together those interested in this Local Nature Partnership to discuss issues and potential project outcomes. These will be based around several areas that have been identified by Sussex Biodiversity Partnership as contemporary issues - education; nature and health; restoring ecosystems; working with local communities.

The input of your organisation to these discussions would be valued and I would be grateful if you could let me know if you intend to be involved and whether there are particular areas of interest for your organisation.

As a first opportunity to input to this process please visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/D8XMK93 to complete a short survey on your views on the role and function of a countywide Local Nature Partnership. Please respond by 13 January. For further information about Local Nature Partnership development work in Sussex, please visit http://www.sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/conservation/page00047.htm
