Wilder Horsham District

Becoming a Wilder Horsham District

The Council has initiated a unique and innovative five year partnership with the Sussex Wildlife Trust to enhance wildlife across the Horsham District. Its main objective is the development and delivery of the Horsham District Nature Recovery Network to help wildlife thrive, and to increase awareness of actions that communities can take to improve their local natural environment. A Nature Recovery Fund has also been set up to support this project.

Supporting communities through the Community Climate Fund

Community action is an important part of reducing carbon emissions across the District. We have launched a Community Climate Fund to support community projects that reduce carbon emissions and improve the physical environment in a way that also benefits the wider community.
