PROTECTING WILDLIFE’S ‘GREEN CORRIDOR’ WEST OF IFIELD AND WILLOUGHBY FIELDS LOCAL NATURE RESERVE
LETTER SUBMISSION – UNPUBLISHED 24/09/2020
Dear Editor
It has been learned Willoughby Fields Local Nature Reserve is now under threat from development.
West of Ifield’s Green Corridor between Horsham and Crawley must be granted ‘Protected Zone’ status to avoid an environmental and ecological catastrophe.
The whole of the ancient Parish – and beyond – needs to become a designated Local Nature Reserve, so that the ‘rewilding’ of nature can take place to protect over 400 endangered and disappearing species.
How can we make this happen?
By proposing a Joint Area Action Plan [JAAP] to be pioneered by Horsham District Council and Crawley Borough Council.
Yours sincerely
Richard W. Symonds
The Ifield Society
