seaford, great beach there for mackerel and cod. i go there regularly for the fishing so i know what you mean by the lack of trees, but im only 10mins drive away and there are a few woods around where you could go and chop off a few branches to bring back. also, if you have a decent sized garden then maybe some fast growing trees (silver birch?) for later if you really get into woodcarving for a long time. you could also check to see if anyone local has chopped off any large branches or trees recently and ask for a few branches.

Try local tree surgeons, I'm sure they might be able to help

Keep a look out along the road verges as well.

Try your local Council. They may be cutting down trees, or have to clear up fallen trees after all this snow.
