For FREE Tree Care event on Sunday 3rd December 2023, 10am -12pm
This week is National Tree Week 2023 and this weekend Hollingdean’s Tree Guardian volunteers are celebrating with a special FREE Tree Care event on Sunday 10am -12pm… Meet us by the Children’s Centre, Lynchet Close at 10.00 on Sunday 3rd December 2023. New volunteers are very welcome, especially if you are interested in the fruit and nut trees on Stephen’s Road, Horton Road and Davey Drive. It is friendly and fun in the fresh air and no special knowledge is needed. Training given.
282+ fruit and nut trees need our care
Did you know… Hollingdean is really special with 282+ fruit and nut trees in our verges and green spaces (plums, apples, pears, mulberry’s, figs, hazels, walnuts and more). They all need regular mulching and pruning to produce beautiful crops for everyone to share. Mulching around a fruit tree can double its chances of survival and triple its growth in its first 3 years! And, growing trees in cities gives us much needed shade helping to cool temperatures by up to 12 degrees? That’s a lot of benefit from our lovely trees. #NationalTreeWeek or #GrowATree or https://treecouncil.org.uk/
We look forward to meeting you. Thank you to our regular volunteers.
