Although I am primarily concerned with protecting the beautiful countryside of The Sussex Downs & the Weald, including the woodland, I am also perturbed about what is happening throughout the world and what is happening to it`s forests. Can you imagine what it would be like to have your home torn down around you and destroyed? It's a horrible thought, but that's exactly what is happening in forests around the world. With an area of forest the size of a football pitch being destroyed every two seconds, endangered species such as gorillas, orang utans and chimpanzees are at risk of extinction within our lifetimes.
How can we help to protect our ancient treescape. Watch this short video & find out.
This film, directed by Julien Temple, shows all too clearly what this means. With the voices of Sir David Attenborough and Ewan McGregor, it's a stark reminder of what we stand to lose if we aren't able to save our ancient forests
Another short film about ancient English woodland.
