About this event
A chance to explore and experiment using wildlife technologies to reconnect with nature and local wildlife.
The Steyning Downland packs an astonishing variety of habitats and species in 170 acres. Using tech can bring this landscape to life in a new way.
A mix of ancient chalk grassland, chalk scrub, wet woodland, a chalk stream, ponds and deciduous woodland create ideal conditions for classic South Downs wildlife to thrive.
This event is accessible for everyone- you don’t need to be an expert, just interested!
