Welcome to the Steyning Downland Scheme Website
The Steyning Downland Scheme has been initiated by The Wiston Estate, in partnership with A Rocha, a Christian conservation organisation.
160 acres of chalk downland adjacent to Steyning has been designated for the benefit of wildlife and the local community. It is an area comprising open grassland, a watercourse and ponds and mixed woodland, known locally as the Horseshoe, and the Rifle Range.

The scheme seeks to engage local people, and young persons in particular, in enhancing the natural beauty of their surroundings for the benefit of the community, the land and its wildlife.
A place to enjoy, A place to protect, A place to be proud of
