2024 saw the continuation of the ‘Green Recovery’ legacy programme funded by a range of local and national partners. This saw community engagement activities, events and volunteering as well as an educational programme for local schools. We have also continued work in collaboration with the Friends of Combe Valley on the community garden space which has enabled nature-based events and activities such as inclusive gardening, improved events/education space, enhanced biodiversity features, a native tree nursery and other physical improvements to take place. We carried out an extensive Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessment of the park to explore its potential for BNG unit generation. This was explored in more depth within the Upper Wilting Farm area (land owned by Hasting Borough Council) and a management plan created that, subject to verification could see BNG units sold and funding generated ring-fenced to the park. We also carried out an extensive carp removal programme across several of the park watercourses, and started to create a series of booklets on nature for park users.
The Combe Valley Countryside Park CIC was formed in July 2015 and the Board is made up of members of the Public, Local Councillors, Landowners and Local Businesses. The Board holds regular, quarterly meetings where decisions affecting the Combe Valley Countryside Park, and the Discovery Centre are agreed. An active Friends of Combe Valley was established and is engaged in the Board, project development & fundraising; and undertaking vital volunteering work across the Combe Valley Countryside Park. Thanks to dedicated voluntary support, the CIC continues to communicate its activities via Website and Facebook pages, along with social media for its projects. Since the planning and feasibility of the park was first undertaken in 2014 there has been broader consultation undertaken. During 2019/20 the CIC embarked on a process to develop a 5 year activation and fundraising plan, over 780 community survey responses were received; more than 25 stakeholders engaged and over 130 problem and opportunity areas identified. This led to a prioritisation plan for project development for the 5 years through to 2025. With the overarching strategy agreed the focus has been on the development of project activity and fundraising. In addition, the CIC has established a wider Stakeholder Forum, a Farmers Forum to engage with local farming landowners and tenants and attends the Combe Haven subgroup of organisations focused on environmental conservation and enhancements
