Planting projects

Greening Eastbourne streets

Treebourne has been awarded a major grant by the Urban Tree Challenge Fund to plant 1,000 streets trees over the next two years. Encouraging community involvement was a key part of our successful bid and so we are inviting people to suggest where the trees will be planted. Will will also be launching a Tree Champions scheme giving volunteers the chance to look after the trees as they grow.
