Welcome

Our volunteers help with:

Our fund raising has:

  • helped to purchase Castle Water, and transform it from a gravel-dredging site to the amazing reed bed it is today
  • created the Wader Pool near the river
  • funded the initial contribution of £1.5M towards the new Discovery Centre
  • funded five wheelchair-accessible bird hides
  • funded vehicles for the Reserve
  • purchased two defibrillators
  • provided two offices and a workshop
  • part-funded the nature reserve staff

The Friends make a huge difference, so why not help us to protect the reserve and its wildlife by joining us or making a donation?

Please note that The Friends are not responsible for the management of the Reserve. If you have any issues, please contact staff at the Discovery Centre or Sussex Wildlife Trust.
