The Greater Lewes Foundation and Sussex County Land Trust have secured an agreement to protect two locations in Lewes to preserve nearly 120 acres of local land. The total cost of $18.3 million will require public and private funders, including tax-deductible donations from the Lewes community. Private donations are essential in demonstrating community commitment and generating other funds.

Open space in and around Lewes is being diminished every day. The loss of trees, green habitats, view corridors, and natural resources is startling. Many of us feel helpless as we see these vital resources and our sense of place disappear.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We share the heartfelt concern of many in our community about the disappearance of properties such as these. We invite all to join us in contributing to the successful acquisition and protection of the Fourth Street and Ard na Gréine preserves. Together we can make this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity a reality.
