Railway Land Wildlife Trust

Who we are

We are a small, agile charity bringing Nature and Community together – to benefit both. We are based on a local nature reserve in the heart of Lewes with a wonderful eco-building designed to support life-long learning.

We have a staff team of eight who collectively deliver and lead our projects, including ecologists, lifelong learning and community engagement practitioners. We have a cohort of freelancers and an amazing, passionate army of volunteers who embody the role of the community in nature, and a Board of eight Trustees.

Our project work includes practical conservation and habitat creation, young people engagement and support, wildlife discovery, nature connection for mental health, school visits, holiday clubs and much more. 

We strive to be bold, with imaginative and inspirational approaches. We are disruptive enough to bring about a culture shift in our relationship with nature and how we link human and natural resilience in the face of climate change challenges.

At our heart is improving the wellbeing and resilience of Nature and the Community
