Description

We will walk along Juggs Road to Kingston village, looping back to Lewes passing through the recently restored wetland that is part of the Cockshut Stream. We will be walking across fields and through Kingston village on pavements and footpaths. The ground will be uneven and potentially muddy, so wear suitable footwear. The distance is around 5km with only one slight incline, the pace will be slow as we will be stopping to identify plants, birds and animals along the way. We will be using the iNaturalist app A Community for Naturalists · iNaturalist to identify and record nature we find, contributing to community science as part of the City Nature Challenge
