  • Estimation of the economic value of the South Downs Way
  • Evaluating best practice methodology for estimating carbon storage
  • Examination of the impact of the food and drink industry on the local economy and sustainable tourism
  • Assessing Grayling Butterfly distribution on the South Downs
