The SDS site is made up of open grassland, a stream, ponds and mixed woodland. Since 2007 more and more people of all ages have got involved on the site through one of the many activities taking places. Activities include practical conservation work, survey work, bushcraft, nature walks and much more! Are you interested in getting involved in the Steyning Downland Scheme? There are lots of opportu
