Report written by Carla Washbourne

Share the love

A sunny Saturday mission with GoodGym joining volunteers from Sussex Wildlife Trust, Friends of Sheepcote Valley and Friends of East Brighton Park. A big task force to help make a big dent in a big tangle of brambles. Equipped with gloves and loppers, we chopped away at several years of tangled growth, slowly clearing the perimeter of the wildlife pond that the trust established 8 years ago to encourage a range of critters to use this already beautiful and biodiverse site. Interesting fact: Sheepcote Valley was used for the dumping of municipal waste until the 1980s, when it was landscaped and remediated for use as park space and playing fields.


This task supported

We want to bring together like-minded locals and work together and with the Park Ranger, to explore, protect, enjoy and share our love of this beautiful space. Friends of Sheepcote Valley - Volunteer conservation group, East Brighton. A group of volunteers who work with the council to conserve Sheepcote Valley countryside. They meet once a month, usually on the third Saturday of each month at the cafe in the park.
