Burgess Hill Town Council’s Environmental Charter forms the basis of the Town Council’s approach towards a sustainable and healthy environment for its residents.

The Town Council’s Environmental Issues Forum acts as an environmental ‘think tank’ and monitors the implementation of the Environmental Charter. It also develops a wide range of environmental initiatives.

Two areas of open rural land are being maintained in their natural condition for the enjoyment of the town’s residents. Bedelands Farm to the north of the town is owned by Mid Sussex District Council and is managed by the Friends of Bedelands Farm.

In 1993 Burgess Hill Town Council purchased land at Batchelor’s Farm to the south of the town. The 39 acres of pasture-land affords breath-taking views south towards the neighbouring villages and the South Downs beyond.

Batchelor’s Farm and Bedelands Farm are linked by the ‘Green Crescent’, which surrounds the town with open space.
