Tree wardens and conservation volunteers

Tree Council grants available - funding is currently available for the regeneration of native bluebell woodland and the creation wildflower meadows. Email members@treecouncil.org.uk to express an interest and for an application form. Please note that Tree Council grants are only available to Tree Council members.

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.

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.
