We want you and your fellow students to help by adding your voices to our online Big Biodiversity Conversation by 7 April 2022. This is an opportunity to submit your own ideas for projects to increase the biodiversity of our campus, and give your feedback on ideas submitted by your fellow students and the Sussex community.

The online stage of the conversation will close on Thursday 7 April 2022. Your feedback and ideas will then feed into the Big Biodiversity Conversation Workshop on 28 April, where you can join the university and the wider Sussex community in selecting the most popular and achievable ideas.

You join the conversation by doing three easy things:

1. Giving your feedback on ideas proposed by your peers

We want to give you the opportunity to influence which biodiversity projects happen on your university campus.
We have some exciting potential projects, from sheep grazing on West Slope to planting fruit trees on campus and turning the Falmer House moats into rain-fed water gardens.
We need your feedback on what you think is best. So, read through the ideas suggested, rate them and leave comments on our digital board.

2. Add your own ideas to the conversation

Do you have a brilliant idea for a biodiversity project that you believe would benefit our campus biodiversity? Whether it’s an inkling of an idea or a developed plan, submit it here to add it to the Big Biodiversity Conversation.
Others will rate and comment on your idea, and it could end up being discussed at our workshop.

So, join the conversation online before Thursday 7 April 2022 and join us in person at the Big Biodiversity Workshop on 28 April.

3. Help us raise funds for biodiversity

You can also support biodiversity projects on and around our campus by sharing our JustGiving page with your friends, family, and local community, and/or donating. The donations that you encourage will be used to support the selected ideas.
