Members only event: Guided Walk around Amberley Wildbrooks

Autumn is a wonderful time of year to explore some of the best wetland habitat to be found anywhere. With fine views of the South Downs as a backdrop, Amberley Wildbrooks is a must see. Over half of the aquatic plants found in Britain occur here as well as a fantas­tic array of invertebrates, some of which are inter­nation­ally rare. It is also a great time of year to be on the look out for birds of prey.

During this gentle guided walk, Volunteer Guide Mark McManus, will lead you across the reserve, pointing out some of the wildlife highlights along the way. The walk will include different areas of the reserve that Sussex Wildlife Trust manage in partnership with RSPB and other land owners and will be an opportunity to see how your membership supports the management of these rare habitats.
