Conflict and Conservation on Ashdown Forest talk, Falmer – 19 June 2019
If you enjoy visiting the tranquil Ashdown Forest, you may be interested to learn more about the forest’s past which is full of conflict. This illustrated talk will focus on the struggles it endured during the Victorian and Edwardian periods when foresters, commoners, conservationists and wealthy newcomers pushed for control over Ashdown’s depleted resources. The talk takes place at the county’s archive centre, The Keep, at 2.30pm on 19 June. Tickets cost £5. Book your ticket to learn more about Ashdown Forest’s history.
