Join the Chichester Eco Trail this weekend and take part in a family-friendly quiz

Residents in Whyke and Arundel Park are putting on an Eco Trail from 1pm to 3pm on Saturday (September 26) with 17 stations around the area for people to find out more about different topics and to highlight what individuals can do to get involved in helping to fight the climate crisis – as well as a fun, family-friendly quiz with prizes.

Organiser Sarah Sharp said: “Clearly taking part in our community trail has to be done carefully with gel, masks, and importantly everyone will be outside.

“We are asking everyone to stay in small family bubbles and keep safe distances.”
