Horsham Green Gym at work on farm

Latest Horsham Green Gym task on the farm: around 20 hardy volunteers dug ditches and reinforced the bank on Pedlars Way and Occupation Road.

They also pruned back vegetation on gateways, particularly at lower Spring Barn-Pedlars Way bridleway gate. We hear it’s now to spec for a 16-hand stallion and rider to pass through. Thank you!

Termtime children’s events at Chesworth Farm from Sussex Wildlife Trust

#sharechesworthfarm: dog walkers are reminded of the Countryside Code: “When you take your dog into the outdoors, always ensure it does not disturb wildlife, farm animals, horses or other people by keeping it under effective control.” More details can be found at Countryside Code

Horse-riders and cyclists please keep to the bridleways. These cross the site E-W or N-S. If you are on a diagonal field path, you are definitely not on the right track.
