Outdoor Programme 2026
Tuesday 11th August - 10.00am - Eastside Meadow Newhaven - Our next Tuesday walk is in Newhaven where we will be visiting East Side Meadows for the first time.
This easily accessible, mainly flat meadow, is a surprising oasis of flora and fauna. Our leader, Mike Kerry, has made numerous visits over the past year and highly recommends it for insects of all sorts, butterflies - bees - hoverflies - beetles and bugs. Birds regularly encountered include Cetti's Warbler and Reed Warbler. There are interesting plants to be found too. The ditch at the northern edge attracts Dragonflies and Damselflies.
The Meadow is at the end of the port access road that runs down the side of Halfords (the Drove Retail Park, Newhaven). It is unlikely you will be able to park on the access road so we recommend you take one of the coastal buses, or if you want to drive, there is a free car park in the retail park. From there walk a few hundred metres South until you reach the open land.

Extra Weekend Activities
The Society is planning a series of additional walks and activities this year, to be held at Weekends, in the hope that people unable to attend the usual Tuesday events, perhaps due to a daytime job, may find these events more accessible.Further details of these events may be viewed here
