Projects & works
Each year, a number of improvement projects are carried out on the Commons in line with the long-term Management Plan. These may be funded from the Borough Council precept but are more often supported by grants and donations from the Freehold Tenants, Friends of the Commons and other bodies such as Sussex Lund.
Examples of our projects:
- Wetland scrapes at Bulls Hollow, funded by Sussex Lund.
- A new pond at the Marlpits in Rusthall.
- Holly scrub clearance in Happy Valley.
