Some of the dazzling autumn leaves we saw on our visit to Malling Deanery Arboretum, #Lewes, yesterday to share information about the #trees with the owner. There were so many different colours and shapes!

Bringing sunshine colours on a rainy day - the golden leaves of the Cappadocian Maple, (Acer cappadocicum 'Aureum'), in Malling Deanery Arboretum. So many lovely #trees in #Lewes!

Some of the beautiful leaves we collected from under the #trees at Southover Grange, #Lewes - from the Indian Bean Tree, Liquidambar, Tulip tree, Ginkgo, Chestnut-leaved Oak, Judas tree, and Japanese Maple.

Today, members of #Lewes Urban Arboretum, #Trees Committee of Friends of Lewes, were invited to the wonderful grounds of Northease Manor School to help to plant 165 mixed native whips. Great fun, very well organised, and lovely homemade soup made by Marcus Taylor!

We planted 30 #trees around the perimeter of Convent Field today! Later in the month we have 26 more to plant, thanks to generous sponsorship and support from Lewes District Council, Lewes Town Council, Friends of Lewes, the Mosaic Project, Chalk Cliff Trust and #Lewes residents.

More #trees in #Lewes from our partner group Lewes Urban Arboretum, (Friends of Lewes: Trees) - good for biodiversity, so good for #Swifts!

We all know trees make a street look much more inviting, but their benefits are more than bark deep. Trees can: 💪 Improve our mental and physical well-being 🔊 Reduce noise on busy roads 📈 Help children excel in school ♻️ Remove pollution from the air

We hoped that the fine weather over the summer would help towards a recovery in insect numbers, and we seemed to see more while monitoring the #Swifts in #Lewes. However, according to Buglife, their survey suggests a 19% decrease year by year. buglife.org.uk/news/

Labour coaxed you to vote for it with nature promises. Steve Reed told me to my face that Labour would mandate swift bricks and then blocked them. Are they mocking their own voters?

120 visitors to our Christmas Crafting Day! Thanks to Rustic Tim and Michael for helping so many lovely visitors to make their own reindeer and snowmen! We will be open for more Christmas crafts and beautiful Christmas cards on Saturday 29th November. #woodcraft #Sustainability

Fantastic attendance of 1,500 people at the #Lewes STEM Festival today! Over 100 joined us to make bug hotels, colour a #Swift fact sheet or make a Swift pendant. Some children sought us out to find out about Swifts because they love them so much - what more could you ask for?

Fantastic attendance of 1,500 people at #Lewes STEM Festival today! Here are just a few of the pendants to celebrate wildlife in #trees, chosen from those made by over a 100 young artists who came to our stall. Congratulations to the STEM team on a very well-organised event!

What a beautiful day we had to plant the last batch of 57 #trees around Convent Field, #Lewes, this morning - four Crataegus x prunifolia Splendens, (Cockspurthorn), six Malus Evereste, (Crab Apple), and one Quercus ilex, (Holm Oak). Great work everyone!
