Training
We will soon be offering training to Rothbury Tree Wardens.
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.
