We exist to protect, preserve and maintain the commons and fields

We are a volunteer lead charity. All contributions help towards the running of our commons and fields, preserving this glorious West Sussex countryside.

Membership means

Supporting the conservation of land that is now "as rare as rainforests":
  • Protect wildlife and rare habitats 
  • Support nature education 
  • Encourage sustainable traditions 
  • Contribute to climate resilience 

A normal boot load of wood per year, depending on collection and volunteer availability. The wood comes from our scrub clearance designed to maintain the heathland. Make something with it. If you’re planning to burn the wood, you must chop it and season it yourself for around 12–24 months, aiming for a moisture content of under 20%. ​

There are several ways to support us

Set-up a Standing Order yourself - you stay in control & it saves us fees

If you choose to support the charity, setting up an annual payment through your online banking allows you to stay in control while helping the society reduce third-party payment fees.

​When creating your online payment, please include your first and last name in the payment reference so we can easily link it to your membership, and, if possible, set the renewal date to the 1st of May.
