Being a Tree Warden
Being a Tree Warden is a good way of learning more about trees and their importance to life. It can be very satisfying helping a tree to grow in stature and watching its beauty increase year by year.
What we do
Tree Wardens can undertake many different activities, either as individuals or in groups. A few are listed here to give a flavour of what we do but any idea that helps others to value the community's trees is considered:
Caring for young trees until they are established
Developing ideas for tree improvement projects, especially new plantings
Reporting tree problems
Surveying trees, gathering information and adding to the tree record
Giving talks about trees to interested groups and in schools
Where we are
Tree Wardens are supporting tree care programmes in several places across Plymouth. Click here to find out more.
How we learn
All new Tree Wardens receive a free handbook explaining more about the work of Tree Wardens. They also receive regular newsletters and occasional free books. We try to hold a different group event most months with the aim of learning more about trees. Many topics are covered, for example:
Recognising trees
Appreciating the value and uses of trees
Looking after young trees
Understanding Tree Preservation Orders
Running a tree planting event
Are you interested?
Being a Tree Warden is a very worthwhile way of contributing to one's local community. If you are interested in becoming a Tree Warden, please fill in this form. We'll then invite you to one of our regular meetings where we can complete the enrolment process.
