We are currently studying ways in which Dunford House nr. Midhurst , currently managed in trust by YMCA England, can use its facilities to encourage young people to learn from their environment. We have over 16ha of woodland which could be used for a variety of purposes. Please let me know if you represent an Association that may be interested in working together with us.
David Podger posted a status"Meeting with representative of YHA tomorrow to discuss how Dunford House can help in providing accommodation to people visiting the Park."
