Becoming a Tree Warden

Volunteer Tree Wardens in Kent

tree warden Have you got an interest in trees, conservation, wildlife and/or the environment? Then how about becoming a Tree Warden? BTCV have been running the Tree Warden Scheme in Kent for 10 years, and are currently looking for new Tree Wardens. No previous experience is needed, as through a series of FREE training courses run by BTCV, you will gain the knowledge and experience to help others preserve, plant and survey trees in your local area.

Trees are a precious part of natural heritage. Since World War II, over 45% of Britain's woodland have disappeared, due to developments in agriculture, housing, disease and storm damaged. As a Tree Warden working with your local community, you can ensure there are trees and woodlands for future generations to enjoy.

tree warden As a Tree Warden you can get involved with projects such as carrying out a tree survey of your local area, tree planting, and acting as a local point- of-contact within your community. Tree Wardens receive ongoing support from BTCV, including technical advice, educational materials and tool loan.

There has been a recent call for volunteers in the Ashford area following a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. For further information, you can download either a MSWord or an Adobe pdf document below.
