***Work Dates Extended***

The chalk grassland “B-bank” (butterfly & bee bank) In Wish Park was created in around a decade ago. The bank provides habitat for some of the unusual species of wildflowers and pollinating insects found in the rare chalk grassland we find up on the South Downs. We’re undertaking some work to renovate the bank and help return it to its full potential.

Works will now take place between 28 August and 12 September.

During this time, the work area will be fenced off (see yellow area on map below). This will include closing a small section of path around the northern end of the bank (see red line on map below).
