THE POWDERMILL TRUST was formed in 1980 by a group of naturalists to help conserve wildlife and safeguard natural landscapes. Currently the Trust, based in East Sussex, has reserves in Rotherfield, Powdermill Wood and Crowhurst. The Trust is always ready to acquire new reserves, especially in those areas where wildlife species may be
threatened.
Areas containing such habitat as:
Small woodlands
Wildflower and hay meadows
Hedges
Heaths
Ponds
Marshy areas
Or any suitable land where these particular habitats can be formed -
habitats are vital for the future survival of wildlife, be they birds, butterflies, wild flowers, trees, frogs, lizards, dragonflies, bats dormice etc.
THEIR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON BOTH ON US AND OUR CHILDREN
