The meadow restoration work being undertaken at Pond Lye Site of Nature Conservation Importance in the north of Hurstpierpoint & Sayers Common Parish has almost reached completion with only a small amount of clearance remaining. This work began in 2010 to remove the bramble and blackthorn that was destroying the previous value of this natural asset since originally being awarded SNCI status in 1992. Since The Woodland, Flora & Fauna Group commenced the task with the agreement of the landowner, thousands of volunteer man-hours have been expended over many years.
