Tuesday 20th October 2026

Worth Forest

In complete contrast to the first talk of this season, the Seaford Natural History Society talk on Tuesday 20th October will be given by David Bangs who is a field naturalist, social historian, public artist, author and conservationist. He has written extensively on the countryside management, both historically and present day in the English county of Sussex. In this talk he will focus upon Worth Forest, an area of ancient woodland in the High Weald adjacent to Crawley. He will be telling us about its natural history and landscape history as well as the challenges it faces from development and public exclusion. Not all our members are familiar with Worth Forest, so this should prove very interesting.

Just to remind you, the talk will take place at The Chapel Rooms Hall, at the Church of St Peter the Apostle, Belgrave Road, East Blachington, Seaford.
BN25 2EN. W3W///round.compiler.schools.

There is a small car park at the hall and plenty of on-street parking, however we encourage everyone to consider car sharing or coming by the 119 bus. If you want a lift to the Hall, or would like to offer a lift to someone else, please email Jill Davey: gilliandavey74@gmail.com

As usual the talk will start at 2.15pm. There will be a break for refreshments, but please bring your own mug. If you need to use the crockery belonging to the church, we hope you will wash it up afterwards as we no longer have a 'refreshments team' to do it for you!

We looking forward seeing you there. Non-members will be asked to contribute £3 per head.
