Seven young Black Poplar #trees planted in Malling Deanery Arboretum, #Lewes, today with the NatureLinks group from the Railway Land!

Leaves and seed pods on the Japanese Hornbeam #tree at Malling Deanery Arboretum, #Lewes .The folding mechanism of the leaves is copied to design solar panel arrays for space shuttles. Leaves in bud and solar panels during launch have to pack down tightly - biomimicry!

Exciting morning, taking delivery of the 30 #trees we will be planting in #Lewes in November and December. Keep following us to find out where their new homes will be!

More hard work on #tree care from the NatureLinks group making a positive difference at Malling Deanery Arboretum, #Lewes, today. Three of us were clearing around this Ilex latifolia, a rare and unusual Holly. Hopefully the before and after pictures show the difference!

We were back at Convent Field, #Lewes, today to weed and check the 57 #trees that we planted there in 2025. Thanks to regular watering, only two of them need replacing later this year.

In Malling Deanery Arboretum, #Lewes, and at The Pells today to measure trees for our #tree inventory. Here are some: Quercus frainetto, Hungarian Oak, 64.7 cm diameter; Fraxinus angustifolia, Narrow-leaved Ash, 72 cm diameter; Betula x Koehnei, Hybrid Birch, 32 cm diameter.

Fantastic work by the NatureLinks group from the Railway Land today during our first work experience session at Malling Deanery Arboretum, #Lewes. With eight young people and their helpers , Matt and Wendy, we cleared and mulched around 17 of the #trees . Thank you to everyone!

Lots of berries on the #trees in the wildlife hedge that we planted at Jubilee Gardens in 2021 with the support of #Lewes District Council and South Downs National Park Trust - Rowan, Hawthorn and Spindle.

Large shining berries on this Cockspurthorn in Malling Recreation Ground, #Lewes . It is one of a group of five that are identified on the British #Tree Register as Crataegus x grignonensis, (Grignon's Cockspurthorn), and one is recorded as the County Champion of East Sussex!
