Adur River Recovery
A Sussex-Born Blueprint for Nationwide Recovery
Meet the Team
The Adur River Recovery is a collaborative project funded by Defra involving 27 land managers working in partnership with NGO’s and local councils. We are working closely with the University of Brighton who are undertaking water quality sampling and analysis across the project area. There are elements of the project that require specialist expertise and we are working with three external consultants who are assisting with the legal, financial and biodiversity aspects of the project; Bates Wells, 3Keel, and Ecosulis.

“We believe a landscape-scale, holistic, approach to nature recovery is crucial. We’re excited to be part of expanding this geographically and socially to achieve landscape recovery and to encourage systemic change. We want to bring our expertise and experience with private finance mechanisms to this project, to help secure funding for landowners to deliver the nature-based solutions needed for both the environment and people to thrive in the region.”
David Hunter – Bates Wells
“To work with the Knepp Wildland Foundation on this project, for me, hits the sweet spot of supporting vital work to prioritise and restore the natural environment, applying my professional skills towards something delivering positive impact and being part of a large collaborative endeavour”
Cain Blythe – Ecosulis
“The Adur River Recovery project stands as a testament to effective collaboration, bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders and landowners to restore nature on a significant scale. We firmly believe that strategic partnerships are essential in generating lasting benefits for both people and nature, contributing meaningfully to the ongoing challenges posed by climate change and biodiversity loss.”
