Chesworth Farm

Accolade for wildlife site

Horsham’s Chesworth Farm - owned by Horsham District Council - has officially been designated as a ‘local wildlife site’ for nature conservation, joining other council-owned sites such as Leechpool and Owlbeech Woods, Monkmead Woods and Southwater Country Park. A council spokesman said: “Careful management of the hedgerows and grasslands, provision of sacrificial crops for farmland birds, regular dormouse monitoring, wildflower surveys and breeding bird surveys have all proved how important the farm is for wildlife.”
