Black Poplar Project

in 2023 17 Black Poplars were planted in various locations at Mayes Park.

A further 16 were planted in March 2024. Out of the 38 remaining Black Poplar trees in Sussex there were only 5 genetic clones (3 male and 2 female). Over 6000 have now been planted across Sussex thanks to Sussex Wildlife Trust, Wakehurst (Kew) and Sussex Black Poplar Working Group.
