Lewes has recently adopted the first Neighbourhood Plan in the country to include ecosystem services as part of the Plan. We benefit from many natural systems in Lewes, and Tingle’s Way brings together various themes that show the interconnections between us in the complex web of life that sustains us. Local groups who care about each of these aspects have contributed to Tingle’s Way, and we welcome more involvement! Please get in touch if you would like to be part of this.
