The West Weald Landscape Project (WWLP) is a visionary partnership project working to promote integrated management of a viable and enhanced landscape in the West Weald for people and nature.

The WWLP covers a large area of 240 square kilometres (nearly 60,000 acres) at the western end of the Low Weald, north of the town of Petworth. A broad partnership of organisations including environmental bodies and local authorities are involved in the project.

The WWLP works at a landscape scale to conserve and enhance the special natural environment of this area, by creating more space for nature and natural processes and hence benefiting people too through the provision of ‘ecosystem services’ such as flood alleviation and carbon dioxide fixation from the atmosphere.
