A Conservation Order has now been served on this land, but now the farmer is threatening the marshes below it. So there is a new camp .
Help is needed.
The Offham Hill Valley has now been saved from the senseless destruction. Because of the pressure and hard work of the people of Lewes and Brighton, our irreplaceable South Downs turf received special status on 17 April. On Sunday, 27th April 250 of us lovingly unploughed about half of the damaged land. During the following two weeks, the work was finished. The European Union was to pay the farmer an enormous amount of money to destroy an area of land he was previously being paid to keep beautiful.
