Treebourne Mulching sessions at Sevenoaks Rec

Mulching the planting areas, straightening trees and fixing tree-guards to ensure the long term viability of the trees at Sevenoaks

Treebourne are calling on all tree-lovers in Eastbourne to volunteer for mulching sessions to help safeguard the future of the 10,500 trees planted at Sevenoaks Rec.

After a very dry start to spring, Treebourne are appealing for as many volunteers as possible to help them distribute mulch, straightening trees that have blown over and fix tree-guards to ensure the long-term viability of the newly planted trees.

The two hour sessions will run from Friday 23 April to Sunday 16 May 2021 and as before all appropriate measures will be taken to keep volunteers Covid-safe.

About this Event

After a very dry start to spring, we desperately need to secure all the hard work of the Treebourne volunteers who planted over 10,500 trees at Sevenoaks Rec. Mulching helps retain water, suppresses competing grass and improves the soil.

If you can, please bring gloves and a rake or a fork. We can supply if this is not possible.

Tickets are currently limited to 12 people per session and volunteers will be split into groups of maximum of 6. Everyone is welcome. All ages and abilities are welcome.
