Sussex Web Design Company Partners Up With Sussex Wildlife Trust – Sounds Like We Are In For More 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. The decision to participate in the work of the Trust was a result of our MD Adam Stafford’s passion about the natural world and the wildlife of the county that’s evidenced by his dedication to tracking and shooting deer – but only and exclusively with a camera as his Deer Diary website shows!
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.Sussex Wildlife Trust aims to preserve the Sussex landscape, wildlife and all its habitats and to then in turn use its knowledge and expertise to assist the people of Sussex to understand and enjoy. 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. He met the Burrell family at the 3,500-acre Knepp Castle estate recently.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.Nowadays you will find that internal gates and fences have all been torn down and the old dairy cows have been replaced with a herd of Old English Longhorn cattle, Exmoor ponies have recently been introduced as well as Fallow deer and Tamworth pigs which have all been set loose to roam around as they like. 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.
Seeing that passion in action, Adam decided that we should get involved as a company too. That certainly chimes with the Fresh Egg ethos of “giving something back” to the 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 pleased to be members and involved in such a worthy cause, and the staff have no doubt that sometime in the near future we’ll be talked into clearing culverts, planting trees or counting skylarks!
