Get Involved

Tree Care meetup
This Saturday, 9am-12pm

Join us at Tugwell park to weed the 3600 trees we planted over the 2020/21 season. We will be clearing around each tree mainly using shears so please bring a pair if you have any, although tools will be available to borrow.

Feel free to turn up anytime between 9 and 12. We will be stopping for a light refreshment break at around 10.30am.

The meeting point is at the main park gate on the corner of Tugwell Road and Wilton Avenue - look for the Treebourne flags. If you are coming later, you should be able to easily spot us amongst the newly planted trees.

We are working towards the ambitious goal of a carbon netural town by 2030.

OUR MISSION

Our goal is to double Eastbourne’s tree cover by 2030 We’re working with the council and independently, to find sites - large and small - where we can plant trees. Our aim is to maximise the capture of CO2 emissions before they can escape into the upper atmosphere and wreak havoc on the planet’s climate. In short, we plan to turn Eastbourne green.

Sevenoaks Rec

Our first site, identified by the council some time ago as a park that would benefit from complete regeneration, with vast, poorly used open spaces, low tree cover and limited wildlife. By planting thousands of trees in Sevenoaks Rec, we can not only help the battle against climate change, but massively improve the park and the quality of the natural environment for local residents.
