Bexhill Environmental Group (BEG) have completed their ambitious project to plant 525 British native trees on Bexhill Down to create a new wood, underplanted with wildflowers

On Saturday Nov 28th volunteers from BEG and the Bexhill Rotary Club planted 525 trees in 3 sessions, throughout the day, continuing until after the moon had risen! These are 15 species of British native trees, mainly 90-120cm high, including field maple, sweet chestnut, wild cherry, red oak and rowan.

A HUGE Thank You to everyone who helped, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Each tree is individually numbered, the first number being the code to identify the species. The table below shows you which species matches the code and also has a link to the Wikipedia description for each species. If the link doesn’t work directly, copy and paste it into your browser.
