Working for Railway Land Wildlife Trust

The Railway Land Wildlife Trust exists to inspire environmental sustainability by bringing nature to the heart of Lewes.

The Trust was founded by local people in 1988, passionate about preserving this beautiful, tranquil place. It is based in the Linklater Pavilion, a purpose built environmental education centre on the edge of the nature reserve and a stone’s throw from the shopping centre of Lewes. The Railway Land was formerly a railway marshalling yard and was declared a nature reserve in 1995. The site covers almost 40 hectares and is situated in the South Downs National Park and the Brighton and Lewes Downs UNESCO World Biosphere Region.
