  • The landscape and wildlife of the MAVES area, between Arundel Lyminster and Walberton, has inspired poets and artists for generations - such as Laurie Lee and the Wishart family of artists, and many more today.

    Some of this can be discovered through the Explore and Arts pages on the Binsted Village Website. From 10-12 June 2016 you can also see and hear more at a new arts festival, the Binsted Arts Weekend:

    • MAVES began its work as an environmental charity in 2015.  By 2018 we had grown to the size requiring registration with the Charity Commission.  We did so under the name Arun Countryside Trust CIO to allow a wider long term remit, supporting the Arun countryside's cultural heritage alongside its natural environment.  We will continue to use the name 'MAVES' for our natural environment work. 

      Partner organisations include Sussex Wildlife Trust and Arundel Agenda 21.

    • MAVES, as the environmental wing of Arun Countryside Trust, aims to:

      Understand, conserve & enhance the environment and countryside of Arun
