Want to look after trees? Have a look at Haringey's tree warden scheme

Found details of this scheme (quite by chance, as is often the case) on the Haringey website.

Tree Wardens are community volunteers working closely with council Tree Officers and the Tree Trust for Haringey to protect and promote trees in Haringey. They are offered training to help make the most of opportunities to enhance the borough's trees and to identify problems.

Activities include:

* promoting the value of trees and providing information to the public
* notifying the council of threats to trees such as illegal building works, diseases and vandalism
* organising tree planting events and local woodlands maintenance
* surveying and gathering information on local trees
* establishing tree nurseries using locally collected seeds
* promoting Tree Council initiatives such as National Tree Week
* offering guided walks and giving talks to local groups and schools
