Today we received a report that there were two doors floating down the river near Thorpe. We had a window of opportunity to retrieve them but it all hinged on the high tide. Thankfully, our Rangers were able to get a handle on the situation and it was an 'open and shut' case!

An inspiring morning putting nature on our mind! Nature is freedom. It inspires us, sparks emotions & heals us. Working together, PAs make a powerful and positive case for nature when we use the arts & language that the public and politicians understand. #EUROPARC2019

There might be a few extra grey clouds but that shouldn't stop you from getting outside. Did you know you can pretty much get anywhere in the National Park on public transport with a South Downs Discovery Ticket? Find out more 👉 buff.ly/2YsKGlV

Okay, bloggers, photographers, presenters & other outdoor folk... We need to get louder about #LeaveNoTrace & tougher on those who knowingly leave litter & behave irresponsibly. Places are being closed to all because of a few & we've got a mouthpiece to educate
