From chalk grassland to lowland heath and from chalk streams to chalk reefs off the Sussex Heritage Coast, the South Downs is a biodiverse landscape.
The diverse habitat of the South Downs supports birds, plants, reptiles, amphibians, fish and small mammals, as well as our brilliant pollinators.
" The Downs...too much for one pair of eyes, enough to float a whole population in happiness. "
