What Tree Wardens do

​

Tree Wardens plant, protect, and promote their local trees. No training or experience in tree management is needed – just a love of trees and a few hours to spare. Would you like to be a Rothbury Tree Warden?

​

Tree Wardens are organised into local groups. Rothbury's is the first group in Northumberland. It is co-ordinated by Katie Scott and is autonomous. We meet regularly to decide what we would like to focus on.

 

Some of the projects other Tree Warden groups have done include:

​

• Arranging local tree planting days

• Pruning, watering, and giving vital aftercare to local trees after planting

• Working with local authorities to plant and care for our precious street trees

• Rejuvenating local woodlands in need of management

• Raising funds and identifying suitable land for local tree-planting projects

• Going into schools to talk to young people about the value of trees.
