CPRE Sussex Countryside Day is ‘amazing success’

Second annual celebration of the countryside sees visitors flock to the Knepp Estate, Horsham.

Crowds flocked to the Knepp Estate on Saturday (7 September) to mark the second annual CPRE Sussex Countryside Day.

Hundreds of visitors enjoyed the chance to learn more about efforts to protect, restore and celebrate the Sussex countryside.

There were guided talks and tours on everything from forest bathing and foraging to reconnecting ancient woodland. There were also nature-inspired activities for kids and stalls from a host of charities and community organisations.

The CPRE Sussex Countryside Day raises funds and awareness to support the charity’s vital work.

Held for the first time last year, the event was so successful it is now part of a nationwide celebration of everything that is great about the countryside.
