Tree wardens
Suffolk Coastal co-ordinates a parish tree warden scheme under
the umbrella of the Tree Council. The Suffolk Coastal network was
set up in 1994 and has tree wardens representing approximately 80%
of parishes in the district.
Tree wardens are volunteers who keep an eye open for tree
problems, instigate tree and hedge planting and may co-ordinate a
veteran tree or hedgerow survey in their parish. Further
information about tree wardens can be found on the
Tree Council website (new window).
If you are interested in becoming a tree warden please contact
the countryside and open space team on either 01394
444420 or 444619 or email
communityandeconomic@suffolkcoastal.gov.uk.
Events and training courses
A programme of events and training courses is offered during the

Conservation volunteers welcome
There are many practical management tasks that need to be
carried out throughout the year - cutting back scrub on heathland,
clearing a pond, coppicing woodland or making a muddy path more
accessible.
Volunteering your time and skills to our
Footprints campaign is a great way of making an
impression on our local countryside. If you or a group of people
would like to become involved in practical conservation tasks why
not join one of the
Footprints work parties or we can put you in
touch with local groups.
We welcome all new volunteers - for more information about
becoming a conservation volunteer please contact the countryside
and open space team on either 01394 444420 or
444619 or email
communityandeconomic@suffolkcoastal.gov.uk.
