  • Disease-resistant Elms, and Limes

    In January 2020, 20 ACT-MAVES volunteers working with the National Park Authority planted 40 disease resistant elm trees around Binsted to restore landscape features that older residents remember from more than 40 years ago.  These were from a number of different cultivar types and we will monitor over the years how they perform.  

    With them we planted 10 lime trees as some butterflies need both for different parts of their life cycle.

  • MAVES began its work as an environmental charity in 2015.  By 2018 we had grown to the size requiring registration with the Charity Commission.  We did so under the name Arun Countryside Trust CIO to allow a wider long term remit, supporting the Arun countryside's cultural heritage alongside its natural environment.  We will continue to use the name 'MAVES' for our natural environment work. 

    Partner organisations include Sussex Wildlife Trust and Arundel Agenda 21.

  • MAVES, as the environmental wing of Arun Countryside Trust, aims to:

    Understand, conserve & enhance the environment and countryside of Arun
