Your favourite sign of autumn and David Streeter Award winner

Tune in for Sussex Wildlife Trust's news and updates

Your Favourite sign of autumn 

A few weeks ago we asked you what your favourite sign of autumn is and 58% of you said your favourite is leaves changing colour. We couldn’t agree more. Here are a few of your comments:

“Because it brightens up darker, greyer days and still amazes me with the science and vivid variety of colours. Finally because it's so widely accessible to so many.”

“Trees are our teachers, indicators for humans to also let go, rest and retreat in order to restore again.”

Nature is so important and we need to do all that we can to protect it. This year, the natural world has been under attack like never before. So many species are on the red list and at risk of extinction. Will you help ensure generations to come can enjoy autumnal wildlife? Join thousands of other wildlife lovers and become a member today.
