The Gatwick Greenspace Partnership works in and around Horley, Horsham and Crawley, as well as Gatwick Airport. Despite this largely urban setting the surrounding countryside is a rich one, with ancient woods, heathland and steep sided streams.
Our aims can be stated very simply: 'To benefit people, wildlife and the countryside in and around Horley, Crawley, Charlwood and Horsham'. We want to enhance people's lives through contact with nature and to help wildlife and the countryside flourish, with the help of local people. There are three inter-related threads to our work, which can be defined as our primary aims: Environmental Conservation, Community Involvement and Planning.
