Event Short Description
Event Information
Storrington has long had an association with storks; its old English name of Storca-tun or Estorchetone meaning ‘Stork’s Town’ or ‘Homestead of the Storks’.
With the area also being ideally situated close to the wetlands of Amberley Wildbrooks and Pulborough Brooks, storks have all they need to feed, nest and rear their young.
Since their reintroduction to the renowned rewilding site at Knepp in 2016, by 2024 forty birds were nesting at Knepp and enjoying migratory journeys through Europe and as far as Africa and back, with stopping points enroute.
Laura Vaughan-Hirsch is the Project Manager of the White Stork Project at the Knepp Estate.
