Students from Ormiston Six Village Academy have unveiled a massive (40m) new mural along with dynamic new signs for local bins, as part of a project they have designed to increase respect for the natural world in their area.

Nervous about rising costs, we looked into solar and decided to take the plunge. Read more

How many dolphins did you see today? Did you know we’ve got populations of iconic megafauna including porpoises, dolphins and whales all along our Sussex coast? To find out more, and how to help them, I went to meet Thea Taylor, Managing Director of the Sussex Dolphin Project.
Thea is passionate for all things cetacean “Marine mammals, dolphins in particular, are incredibly charismatic. They have spectacular behaviour and they’re vital parts of our ecosystem.
