The Sussex Pony Grazing and Conservation Trust works in the Ashdown Forest and South Downs conserving the chalk grassland, heathland and the rich, varied flora and fauna that depends on it.

Exmoor Ponies are used to graze these areas of East Sussex to limit habitat degradation. The Trust works in close collaboration with local farmers and relies heavily upon volunteers.

The Trust also aims to provide information to the public on the conservation of downland and heathland biodiversity.

We hope you find our website of interest and that you will be willing to join us in our efforts by becoming a member or a Trust Volunteer.
