Have your say in how to help nature in West Sussex

Nature in Sussex is under pressure. Two new strategies aim to change that - and you can help shape them by giving your views on the latest survey launched by West Sussex County Council. WSCC is working with partners to develop a Local Nature Recovery Strategy for West Sussex to support their work on nature and environment within the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.

The proposed strategy sets out how local habitats can be restored and enhanced, how wildlife can be supported, and how to make nature more accessible in towns and cities based on input from residents, farmers, and community groups. The strategy is based on 7 driving principles, listing 24 priorities, and has over 100 practical actions that can be taken.

Please help by looking at the draft strategy, exploring the habitat maps, and submitting your views via the consultation to help guide the approach.

The consultation will run for six weeks and closes on 25 November 2025. Access the consultation here and submit your views.
