About Us
Benfield Wildlife Group was formed in 1992, and by 1993 had successfully campaigned for the creation of Brighton and Hove’s first Local Nature Reserve (LNR) on Benfield Hill. It’s located in the South Downs National Park, adjacent to West Hove Golf Club.
​
The Benfield valley itself forms one of the few remaining green tongues of open land remaining in Brighton and Hove, linking the town to the Downs...
Volunteers and new friends always welcome!
We meet every Tuesday throughout the year to clear brambles, remove invasive shrubs (hawthorn, dogwood), to enjoy the fresh air and the company! And it's great exercise too.
​We rely on small donations from our Friends to help cover our basic running costs such as fuel for our brushcutters, insurance, events and meetings etc.​
