Sussex Web Design Company Partners Up With Sussex Wildlife Trust - Sounds Like We Are in for a Real Tweet

Posted by Rolf Joho on February 25th, 2010 filed in What Causes Global Warming

Fresh Egg well known for their fabulous Web Design and Search Engine Optimisation initiatives have just become a sliver corporate partner of the Sussex Wildlife Trust. The decision to participate in the work of the Trust was a result of our MD Adam Stafford’s passion about the natural world and the wildlife of the county that’s evidenced by his dedication to tracking and shooting deer  – but only and exclusively with a camera as his Deer Diary website shows!

Back in 1961 the Sussex Wildlife Trust was formed and it is now the biggest conservation organisation totally dedicated to conserving the natural heritage of Sussex.Our county has such a huge range of habitats from the dramatic coastlines around us, to the beautiful grazing marshes, the stunning chalk hills of the South Downs and internationally rare heathland.Sussex Wildlife Trust aims to preserve the Sussex landscape, wildlife and all its habitats and to then in turn use its knowledge and expertise to assist the people of Sussex to understand and enjoy.  There are some 25 reserves throughout Sussex and membership of the Trust gives Fresh Egg and its staff access to all of them.

The motivation behind Adam getting involved with the fantastic work of the Trust came about for a number of various reasons.Not so long ago Adam was fortunate enough to meet up with the Burrell family at their 3,500 acre Knepp Castle.  Once a traditional dairy and arable farm, it is being ”rewilded’’ under the direction of Charles Burrell, who has had stewardship of the estate since he was 21.Nowadays you will find that internal gates and fences have all been torn down and the old dairy cows have been replaced with a herd of Old English Longhorn cattle, Exmoor ponies have recently been introduced as well as Fallow deer and Tamworth pigs which have all been set loose to roam around as they like. That was a pretty brave and inspiring choice and the Estate’s fields are now full of insects and a variety of birds including whitethroats, skylarks, blackcaps, stonechats, nightingales, woodlark and buzzards as well as a few very rare species of butterfly, beetles, bats and bees.

Seeing that dedication in action, Adam made the decision that as a company we should definitely get involved.That certainly rings true with the Fresh Egg moto of “giving something back” to the whole community.And we could think of nothing better than being able to give back the wildlife and natural beauty of Sussex?We’re thrilled to be members and to be involved in such a brilliant cause, and the staff have no doubt that in the not too distant future we’ll all be talked into clearing culverts, planting trees (already done) or possibly counting skylarks!
