More than 7,000 shrubs planted to combat climate change in EssexOver 2,000 metres of hedgerow has been planted in Seawick and Leewick near Clacton to help store carbon. ![]() Carbon catching hedges planted in Seawick and Leewick. The hedges consist of more than 7,000 individual shrubs and have been planted at 3 separate locations. North and south of Beach Road in Seawick, north from Leewick Sewage Works and alongside the southern side of Leewick Depot. Plants store carbon in the form of carbohydrates, for immediate and long-term growth. These are produced by photosynthesis, whereby they take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It is then turned it into sugars that go on to become leaves, stems, roots, and woody trunks. ![]() The shrub planting forms part of the Environment Agency’s £1.1 million Seawick Sea Defence project. Sarah Long, Senior Landscape Architect at the Environment Agency, said:
The work forms part of the Environment Agency’s £1.1 million Seawick Sea Defence project, to improve the resilience of the sea defences in the area. This will better protect from sea flooding and the severe impact that it can have on people, properties and the local economy, which relies heavily on tourism. Additional information
