How do I get in touch with my local tree warden/who is
my local tree warden?
Contact your
town or parish council. They will have the details of
their current tree wardens.
Our tree warden network was launched in September 2011 to help
people to look after their local trees and woods.
There are now over 50 active tree wardens across the district, who
are passionate about trees, their local environment and local
community.
Our aim is for every parish and town council to have at least
one active tree warden, with more in our urban areas.
The tree wardens are generally not experts but tree enthusiasts
who are supported with advice, information and training. The
network is co-ordinated locally by a management committee, which
includes the council’s tree officers. The scheme is run
nationally by the Tree
Council.
Tree wardens will:
- be the eyes and ears for their neighbourhood's trees
- play an active role in protecting and improving their local
trees
- report to the parish or town council
- provide a link with North Somerset Council tree officers
- engage their local community, neighbours, schools and other
groups to plant and care for trees
- work in whatever way they choose, and fit the work they do
within their abilities and around their other commitments
- not need to be an expert as they will be provided with support
and training
- need to be passionate about trees, their local environment and
local community.
