Propagation Programme

We have an aim to establish our own nursery and propagation programme, in order to improve our tree and other flora stocks, whilst minimising costs. So far this year, we have taken two sets of cuttings. The first set comprised of 6 Black Poplar cuttings for propagating. This is one of the most critically endangered trees in Kent, with only 6 specimens in the area. 2 of our cuttings have taken, which we will aim to plant out next Spring. We will continue to take more cuttings for propagation next year to do our best to support the survival of this critical species.

MBC took a further x 5 female cuttings in November 2025, to continue to attempt to successfully propogate for planting out .
