Local Web Design Company Teams Up With Sussex Wildlife Trust - Sounds Like We Are In For A Whole Load of Tweets!
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. Our Managing Director, Adam Stafford decided to get involved with the work of the Trust as he is so passionate about the natural world and in particular the wildlife of West Sussex, which is shown in his dedication to tracking and photographing deer, and keeping his Deer Diary website current!
The Sussex Wildlife Trust was formed in 1961, and is now the largest conservation organisation 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. The aim of the Sussex Wildlife Trust is to conserve the Sussex landscape, wildlife, and its habitats, and to use its knowledge and expertise to help the people of Sussex to understand, enjoy and preserve them. There are some 25 reserves throughout Sussex and membership of the Trust gives Fresh Egg and its staff access to all of them.
Adam’s motivation to involve himself in the work of the Trust came about for a number of reasons.Not so long ago Adam was fortunate enough to meet up with the Burrell family at their 3,500 acre Knepp Castle.Although the estate was once a traditional arable and dairy farm, it is being rebranded under the guidance of Charles Burrell, who since the age of 21 has had the stewardship of the whole estate. Internal gates and fences have been torn down and the dairy cows have been replaced with a herd of Old English Longhorn cattle, introduced Exmoor ponies, Fallow deer and Tamworth pigs, all set loose to roam at will. Adam admits he found that a brave and inspiring decision and the Estate’s fields now hum with insects and birds including skylarks, whitethroats, blackcaps, nightingales, stonechats, woodlark and buzzards as well as several very rare butterflies, beetles, bees and bats.
Witnessing first hand that passion in action, Adam then decided that Fresh Egg should get involved as a company.That certainly rings true with the Fresh Egg moto of “giving something back” to the whole community.And we couldn’t imagine anything greater than being able to give back the wildlife and the stunning natural beauty within 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!
