The Rother Woods area has been identified as one of the most important areas for woodlands in the region. Hundreds of years of woodland management produced a beautifully wooded landscape rich in fauna and flora.
Working with woodland owners, the project works to improve habitat conditions for woodland specialist butterflies and moths.
Many of our rare and declining woodland species, including Grizzled Skipper, Dingy Skipper, White Admiral, Clay Fan-foot moth and Olive Crescent moth can be found here.
Whilst the staffed element of the project finishes in September 2010, many volunteers and landowners will be carrying on with beneficial works and surveys.
The Rother Woods project summary for 2007-10 is available to download below.
Results of the 2010 and 2009 seasons in Rother can be found on the Sussex Branch website.
