Mission
10,000 trees a year
Eastbourne Borough Council has declared a climate emergency, and has set a target of 2030 for the town to be carbon neutral.
In Eastbourne, we’re especially affected by the loss of thousands of ash and elm trees to disease. So our ambitious goal is to at least double Eastbourne’s tree cover by 2030.
We are focussed on getting trees planted, on both public and private land. We’re working with the council, and independently, to find sites - large and small - where we can plant trees. We’re also raising the money to buy them, enlisting the volunteers needed to plant them, and planning and managing the planting projects.
