Wilder Horsham District

Wilder Horsham District is a pioneering partnership project between Sussex Wildlife Trust and Horsham District Council. We aim to work closely with local communities and landowners to reverse the decline in wildlife by creating and connecting habitats to deliver a Nature Recovery Network for the Horsham District.

The objectives of this project are to:

  1. Help wildlife thrive across the Horsham District.
  2. Create networks of land that are protected and improved for wildlife. This will allow habitats to expand and species populations to increase, helping them become more resilient to change.
  3. Increase awareness of the benefits wildlife provide and the actions communities can take to enhance nature locally.
  4. Maximise the opportunities for climate change mitigation and adaptation through nature restoration.

You can read all about the project's amazing achievements to date in our most recent Annual Report (2024-25).
