We are small but have big ambitions. We want to see more land managed for wildlife, more rare habitats protected, more local communities thriving and more people able to access and enjoy their National Park.
This requires more investment and we want to secure and direct the substantial goodwill that exists for the South Downs to places where it can make a real difference.
We are proud to support high quality projects, informed by the South Downs National Park Rangers, local communities and environmental and heritage experts.
The South Downs Trust’s core funding is underwritten by the National Park Authority, ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of our work and maximising the level of funding that goes towards projects.
All our work is delivered in close collaboration with the South Downs National Park Authority and its partners. By working with Environmental NGOs, landowners, farmers, Parishes and Local Authorities, we can ensure that our work has landscape scale and can deliver impact across and beyond the National Park boundary.
