National Publicity for the Chichester Harbour Trust as ‘Country Life’ Magazine Cover Story

22/03/2008 by George.

The 7 Feb 08 edition of ‘Country Life’ Magazine carried a feature article by local journalist Liz Sagues explaining the work of the Chichester Harbour Trust. 

Complemented by images from photographer David Noton, the article emphasises the importance of

Chichester
Harbour as a wildlife habitat, a beautiful landscape and a peaceful refuge to be enjoyed by the local inhabitants and the many visitors to the area alike. 

It particularly stresses the ‘people pressure’ that threatens the area through the demand for more housing and the temptations of ever increasing land prices. 

The article points to a number of projects where the Trust is helping to ease that pressure by taking over areas of land for the very long term. It also highlights the value of the charity as a mechanism whereby the local authority can set land aside as an ‘environmental corridor’ in the hands of the Trust in order to minimise the impact of necessary development.  

Country Life has a circulation of over 40,000 so such a prominent article will give the Chichester Harbour Trust some very valuable exposure throughout the Country. It will help to explain the importance of the charity’s aim to conserve Chichester Harbour both now and for generations to come.
