Tree care

Saturday, June 28th
9am - 12pm

Join us for a morning of tree care and community action at Ocklynge School! The students planted over 800 trees, and they’re growing well – but still need a little care. We’ll be weeding to help them stay on track, as well as checking on the wildflower meadow and willow tunnels. Drop by anytime between 9 am and 12 pm – every helping hand makes a difference!

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.
