In recent correspondence the HBC Natural Resource Manager states that HBC has received Lund fund grant funding:

"Hastings Borough Council has been a successful recipient of Lund Fund grants over a number of years, from Heathland restoration and last year for wildflower establishment in farm fields. We are continuing to monitor the establishment of any native flora and may request a further grant from the Lund fund should we need to reinforce the areas with additional sowing. These projects are favoured by HBC and the High Weald Unit as they provide tangible biodiversity benefits for the reserve."
