Tree Warden
- Thread starter TeeDee
- Start date
Sounds ideal for bushy people to involve themselves in if they are trying to find local areas to become little Tree oasis.
Just applied for my local Parish position - a good way to meet land owners and provide some reciprocal care for trees, the environment and wildlife.

Tree Wardens are organised into local groups. Each group is managed by a co-ordinator and is autonomous, meeting regularly to decide what they would like to focus on. Some of the projects Tree Warden groups have done include:

Or a frock
On a more serious note, there isn't a local coordinator in our areaSo, do I want to start a group? Maybe you can let us know what's involved from the inside TeeDee.
I will enquire and pass the information on.
But surely.. Wales.... real Druids are everywhere??
Update:-
So having a few more Zoom type meetings in reference to the Tree Warden bit.
Their is an obvious hierarchy of order - Tree Wardens - Tree Officers - Tree Co-ordination teams that then interact & advise at the Parish/District/County levels of governance upon issues impacting Trees in the community - from planning issues , TPO's , Identifiable tree diseases etc .
And a lot of the details reference how this new initiative is still being disseminated from HQ down the lines and how the strategy is conveyed and implemented.
But I do have a question if people here in the UK can answer it please:-
How/Why do your families/spouses/sons/daughters ( ie non-bushcrafty types ) feel Trees in their Community are important or what value do they provide?

Good luck with the warden role and this project.
In my view the value of trees comes from engagement at a young age. In spring we make crepe paper blossom collages, in autumn we use the fallen red, brown, yellow leaves to do the same.
We used to make tree rubbings in school, Xmas wreaths etc.
In my area (Heathrow) so many roads are named after trees, shows how important they once were/are

Hi mate, re: your question. I think it's fair to say that my partner and daughter (and me too) appreciate the social amenity provided by trees. Not to mention the oxygen producing, shade/temperature regulation, homes for many species etc. To the extent where we got involved with the Sheffield tree protest/protection.
Do you think ( maybe ? ) we are more attuned to that angle of thought BECAUSE we are bushy tree loving hippy monkeys?
I mean - do you think the average Joe ( or Josephine... P.F.J.. ) appreciates and values Trees? even on a basic level without them over thinking it??
I've never lived in a city and to be honest - I WOULD find it mentally difficult. But I wonder if city life for the city folk is enhanced by Tree life?
Some time ago I emailed the contact I had found on line about Tree Wardens locally as I was interested but I never got a reply. Still why should I care, do I need a badge to care about trees and watch out for them?
Probably not.
Or probably for the same reason you want to mention your disappointment here.
?
So you rang once and didn't get a call back. Ok. Move on.
Trees? I am looking for the forest. Except in rare cases a single tree just does not make it ...
