Tree Wardens are not tree experts but are enthusiastic to learn about trees and protect them. The Tree Council provides each Tree Warden with a Handbook, a set of books on tree related topics and the quarterly ‘Tree Guardian’ newsletter. Typical training courses may cover topics such as Summer and Winter Tree Identification, Tree Planting and Aftercare, Woodland Management, Surveying Woodland, Recording Veteran Trees, Tree Preservation Orders, and Trees and Development.
