Return to Waterhall: rewilding our chalk landscape

A specially-commissioned film as part of the South Downs National Park's #ReNature festival.

Now in its second year of 'rewilding', Waterhall - the former Brighton and Hove City Council golf course north of the city - has undergone noticeable changes.

Slowly, this fragile chalk grassland habitat is being restored by grazing cattle and volunteers, managed and led by ranger Paul Gorringe.

Wilding Waterhall is part of a bigger project across the South Downs called Changing Chalk.

Changing Chalk is a partnership connecting nature, people and heritage on and around the South Downs. Led by the National Trust and supported by a £2.23m National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, it will restore lost landscapes and habitats, bring history and local cultures to life and provide new experiences in the outdoors.
