Our projectsOur projects
We run a number of projects that help people learn about the area, explore it or take action to care for it. All the projects help achieve the objectives of the High Weald AONB Management Plan.
The projects normally run for at least 3 years and have a dedicated project officer or officers.
Project funding comes from a range of sources. Current supporters include the Heritage Lottery Fund, Natural England, Environment Agency, Forestry Commission, Woodland Trust, High Weald Landscape Trust as well as local authorities.
