Greenhavens Network

One of Greenhavens Network’s ambitions is to create and enhance existing green corridors across the Havens area: Peacehaven, Newhaven, Seaford and Lewes. We aim to do this through a variety of mediums, one of them being through tree planting in urban areas such as verges.

We were delighted to receive funding for training from Sussex Community Foundation which enabled a group of us from four local Tree Warden Community Groups to attend and successfully pass the NRSWA Training, New Roads and Street Works for Operatives (units 1 -6&9/LA-05+08). It was tough course but so valuable to understand just how much legally and safely is involved in working and planting on verges.

Now that we are fully qualified, we can now assist numerous local community groups across our local area who are in our network with enhancing their verges for wildlife and people by safely planting trees.
