New photo posts “Citizen Science”, wildlife ponds and improved habitats for birds are one of the latest improvements in Seven Sisters Country Park.
The National Park Authority, which started managing the 280 hectare location four years ago, continues to invest in the beauty point for nature and people.
One of the latest upgrades is the installation of three special photooposts.
The aim of the contributions is to help the National Park Authority to create a detailed picture of how their work changes seven sisters over the seasons.
Visitors are encouraged to become “civic scientists” by taking a photo with the cradles and submitting the image on social media, with the hashtags or by e -mail.
Over time, the composite images are used to create evidence of what works in Country Park, and in areas that may need more investments.

This important work will help support birds, mammals, amphibians and insects such as dragonflies.
Two important lock gates were repaired at the Cuckmere migrants to control the control of the water level and dry areas.

The trenches around the girls were deepened to prevent predators such as foxes and badger because they disturb birds like the Redshank.
Further improvements are the replacement of gates along the South Downs Way, the 100-mile-national trail that runs through the Country Park.

“Everyone can play their role in the natural recovery, and these new photooposts are a fantastic way to help manage this legendary landscape.
“We are known for our bird world and I am very much looking forward to recognizing the effects of the improvements and what species a new home can be found in seven sisters.”
The National Park Authority has invested well over £ 2 million in improving visitor facilities in the past four years, including a fully refided visitor center, a new grocery store, new toilets and trash can.
Last summer, the unveiling of beautiful holiday homes and a camping barn contained so that people can enjoy a night under the starry sky for the first time in seven sisters.
Sussex cattle and Shetland ponies were introduced on site to manage the chalk grassland with the name “Europa's Rainforest in miniature”, since a single square meter can contain more than 20 butterfly species and up to 40 different wild flowers.
In recovery, species such as short ears, stars and large herds of Dunlin and the swaths of colorful wildflower meadows returned.
