The calendar of events marks the end of the UN Decade on Biodiversity, with the º£½ÇÒùĸÂÒÂ× leading on the area’s involvement in the 5th global City Nature Challenge in April. The Nature2020 programme aims to raise awareness of - and connect people to - the environment we live and work in.
Local MPs Caroline Lucas and Lloyd Russell-Moyle joined the deputy Mayor of º£½ÇÒùĸÂÒÂ× & Hove, Councillor Alan Robins, at a packed programme on Friday 31 January, which included speeches and a Healthwalk led by the university’s Becky Walton and Dr Rachel White to observe bird and plant species which make their home along the Undercliff walk.
Lloyd Russell-Moyle, Labour MP for º£½ÇÒùĸÂÒÂ× Kemptown said: ‘‘It was fascinating taking part in the Healthwalk from Saltdean along the Undercliff, it’s always great to learn about your local landscape and species.
