Why take part?

Our university is working to be one of the most sustainable universities in the world, showing global leadership in all forms of environmental, social and economic sustainability, including the biodiversity of our campus. Every member of staff, students and alumni have a role to play in achieving this vision.

We enjoy a range of natural areas on and around our campus, such as wildflower meadow and woodland on our boundary with Stanmer Park, and about a quarter of campus land is set aside for nature.

In Spring 2022, the Provost will host a Big Biodiversity Conservation to agree our target for the amount of campus set aside for nature and to select biodiversity projects in consultation with staff and students. These projects will benefit people as well as nature, as spending more time outside is great for wellbeing.

So, sign up now and join us to raise money for projects to protect and enhance biodiversity on our campus in Falmer and in the wider community!
