Let The Living Coast inspire you
this summer

Having grown up in the shadow of the Downs, composer Nathan James has long been inspired by these local landscapes, and is now embarking on an Arts Council-funded project to write a cantata based on the ancient and mysterious hill-figure, the Long Man of Wilmington...

The Living Coast, Brighton & Lewes Downs UNESCO designated Biosphere, has appointed Sarah Dobson as Programme Manager following Rich Howorth’s departure in the Spring. Sarah has a background in Sustainability and Environmental Management and joins the Biosphere from the Natural History Museum, London, where she led on the environmental management of all the Museum’s operations.

Sarah said, ‘I am thrilled and honoured to take over this important role from Rich who has done amazing work to develop The Living Coast Biosphere with our partners since before the UNESCO designation was achieved. My priority will be to work with all the board members, partners, and our other supporters and friends to build on what Rich has already achieved in delivering the lasting vision of The Living Coast, the place where people and nature come together in our world class environment.'
