"A Place for Trees"

How the treescape of towns and villages can be enhanced. This was the theme of the South West Region Tree Warden Forum held in historic Old Forde House and I was very pleased to be able to go along to open the proceedings and greet the delegates who came from all over the South West. The day-long event looked at the pressures for trees in the 21st Century, concentrating on issues of design, planning, village and town issues and creating tree filled spaces in which we can all live. The Warden Scheme of volunteers is overseen by The Tree Council and more information about the Council's work and excellent publications can be seen on the website http://www.treecouncil.org.uk/
