Come along to help us celebrate becoming a Biosphere area, at the free Sussex Festival of Nature (formerly called 'Springwatch') at Stanmer Park by Brighton, on Sunday 22nd June (11 am-5 pm)!

There will be a special focus on our new Biosphere status, alongside four fantastic zones: Countryside, Coast, City Parks & Gardens, and the new Eco zone about environmentally-friendly living. 

A wide range of free activities will be on offer for all ages, including Biosphere games, birds of prey, heavy horses, sheep-shearing, tractor rides, climbing and Morris dancing.

This year there are special advance bus vouchers to get there for free or half-price, so that you are free to leave the car at home.

Plus this weekend, on Saturday 14th June (10 am-6 pm) the Biosphere team and BHCC park rangers (plus sheep!) will also be at the 'Loving our Level' celebration event on The Level park in Brighton. Drop in and say 'Hi' if you can make it!

These spectacular images were captured from a helicopter using an advanced camera like that used by the BBC in their 'Planet Earth' series, so have been obtained using the latest technology.

The videos have been edited by students from the University of Brighton, and accompanied by original musical scores by students from the University of Sussex.
 
The video and short film will also be shown daily for the next month on the giant 'green' screen of Brighton's Big Screen on the beach by the Wheel, alongside football World Cup games and films. Go along to get the big picture!
