Free Tree Kits Available To Help Children Grow Greener Future — Here's How To Get Yours

Monday, 16 May 2022 17:25

By Dominic Kureen @WriteOnDom

Children across Eastbourne are being invited to get involved in a project to create themselves a greener future by growing trees from seeds.

Treebourne, a local tree-planting charity, in partnership with the Lottbridge Golf Club, is launching its 2022 Seeds4Kids kits for school classes and youth groups.

The kit provides everything a class or group of children would require to identify trees, collect seeds, watch them germinate and grow until they are ready to plant out.

The kit also includes a guide to help teachers or youth leaders through the process.

Any schools and youth groups can apply for free kits online. The kits are free - the scheme is being funded by the Lottbridge Golf Club.

Ray Cruttenden, owner of Lottbridge Golf Club and project founder, said:

"We want to get children involved in nature and understand the importance of trees to the environment, and we are so pleased to be able to support Treebourne in organising this."

"This is a superb project celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee by planting trees. East Sussex's designated QGC area is between Butts Brow and Black Robin Farm"

Treebourne can help them plant remaining trees on the QGC area, or throughout Eastbourne as part of the myriad other projects across the town.
