With over 90,000 trees to look after Oxford City Council is looking to recruiting Tree Wardens; volunteers who will be our eyes, ears and hands for trees.

As a Tree Warden you can gather information about your local trees, get involved in local tree matters and encourage local practical projects related to the trees and woods.

The Tree Warden Scheme is a national initiative to enable people to play an active role in conserving and enhancing their local trees and woods. The scheme was founded and is coordinated by The Tree Council.

Each Tree Warden will be provided with a handbook, training, covering surveying woodland and non-woodland trees, summer and winter tree identification, tree planting and aftercare, woodland ecology and management, seed collection and tree law.

If you would like to sign up, or would like to find our more contact the Parks & Open Spaces team on 01865 252240, or email parks@oxford.gov.uk
