Are you interested in learning how to identify and record butterflies for conservation?  If so, we are running a training course with the Countryside Rangers at Buchan Country Park, Crawley RH11 9HQ on Monday 28th April.

The Haven is holding a work party on Saturday 15th February and would welcome volunteers to help on the day.

The work party will run from 11am until 3pm and will involve some planting and some hedge maintenance. The address is Stringer Way, Brighton, BN1 6QG. All are welcome. Any volunteers attending should bring work gloves and any food/drink that they require. If someone is intending to come it would be good, but not essential, if they drop Tony Gould an email first at firehorsetg@gmail.com.

There is limited car parking on Stringer Way by the entrance to the Haven. Access for car parking is via Draxmont Way only. Stringer Way can also be reached on foot from Balfour Road. There is no access from Loder Road through Dorothy Stringer School.
