This is the site of the Long-tailed Blues - under threat AGAIN. Please respond if you have a spare 10mins 🙏 #butterflies #sussex

Many have probably heard that various matters today relating to the destruction of #Brighton & #Hove’s urban fringe are due to be discussed at Full Council today. Brighton & Hove Conservative Councillors are again calling on Labour/Greens to think again and save these precious spaces.

Our guidance session is tonight at 7.30 for anyone who want to help #SaveWhitehawkHill by filling in the #Brighton City plan 2 consultation but finds it a bit tricky. Help is at hand. The Zoom link is in the facebook link or PM us for it.

No, this is incorrect Tracey Hill 🇺🇦. We were lead to believe this for a long time but now find out that there WAS the option to remove sites. Particularly ours, which is a statutory Nature Reserve. Stop playing a politics blame game with our Downland. Yes, OURS. Robert Nemeth

Learn about The Ancient Dead of Sussex & Beyond with the amazing prehistorian and mortuary practise expert Dr Dawn West Cansfield 💀. It's the second of our Sussex Archaeology At Home online winter lecture series. Members can join us next Thursday 29th October 7pm. facebook.com/events/3909808…

This is NOT true! In the last two years we have had very little support from the Greens on protecting the urban fringe, on supporting our campaign to #SaveWhitehawkHill, despite it being a statutory nature reserve.

Friends of Whitehawk Hill Robert Nemeth As city councillors, we have to make decisions for the whole city. People right across Brighton and Hove feel just as strongly about their local spaces as you do. And actually, there are just as many objections to applications on brownfield sites!

.Tracey Hill 🇺🇦, this is not about ‘feeling strongly’. Show me an urban fringe site as richly valuable as #WhitehawkHill. We have surveys from National level specialists to prove this. But then you think the councils mitigation’s will “improve #biodiversity”, which is nonsense.

CONSULTATION ENDS MIDNIGHT THIS FRIDAY 30TH If you haven’t filled it in please do so to help SAVE WHITEHAWK HILL. This is our last chance! Please take part & object. Here’s our guidance notes in Dropbox tinyurl.com/y35l2ap6

There were plans for a butterfly bank some years back. Yet butterflies abound all round the nature reserve. Isolated projects like this totally fail to understand whole landscapes & interconnected species.

Mark Avery Brighton's downlands are under continuous threat from the Council wanting to build over it, such as Whitehawk Hill Nature Reserve theargus.co.uk/news/18055610.…

Rewilding the landscape can and should go hand in hand with extending Right to Roam. Don't believe me? Check out this great video by ecologist Dave Bangs and the Brighton Downs Alliance. They want to restore nature and roaming rights to the South Downs: youtube.com/watch?v=3r043X…

We don't want to "trespass". We want to pass through the land freely, but if doing so makes us "trespassers" - let us #trespass far and wide! Find out more about free walking through our website here: landscapesoffreedom.com/about-freeroam…

Friday night ❤️
