Today Ms Berry and some of our Enviro-team met up with the Eastbourne Dune Preservation Society to complete a project, which was started two years ago.
They were just seeds when the we received them in 2006, but today the flax were big enough to be planted in the rocky area next to the Rec.
We worked along side the EDPS to create safe places where the little blue penguins can nest, when they come ashore later in July.
The children worked like troopers and managed to plant the 120 or so flax's in under one hour!
The society were really thankful for the children's help, and have asked us to harvest more native flax seeds to plant out next year.
It is really great to be an active part of keeping Eastbourne's wildlife and flora safe.
And we weren't the only ones at the rec today... we were especially blessed to find a tiny pair of little blue penguins snuggled tightly into a rock crack- just making sure we were planting the flax in the right place.
Well Done t all those involved!
