The South Downs National Park Authority is one of ten organisations involved in the four-year Heritage Lottery funded project to inspire communities to visit and look after heathland areas.

Residents will be invited to volunteer, tell their heathlands stories, share archive material, and undertake their own small scale community projects.

Opportunities include wildlife montitoring, free community talks and training in cultural heritage and practical management.
