Trees in Parks and Open Spaces

We have many parks and lots of open space to enjoy in Eastbourne.

The trees within our formal parks and gardens are important for many reasons as they shape the structure of the historic design, shelterbelts and plantations.  Trees and woodlands also frame the landscape as well as providing rich habitat for wildlife.

Individual trees, clumps, groups and avenues have been used to create vistas, views and set scenes around Eastbourne and as such they are the principle building blocks of the parks.

Trees notable for their size, form, age, species or colours have been planted to add interest to our parks. These trees also contain specimen trees and donation trees.

All park trees have been surveyed and their location plotted on our GGP mapping system as part of our tree management program. This gives us an accurate record to maintain these important specimens in addition to a database of tree works undertaken in the past and scheduled tree works for the future.

Please contact us for further details of the many specimens found in our parks.
