Solihull Tree Wardens
The Solihull Tree Wardens were formed in 2000 to serve and protect the local environment's trees, hedges and woodland.
The Wardens belong to the Tree Warden Scheme which is a national initiative run by The Tree Council, that encourages people to play an active role in conserving and enhancing their local trees and woodlands.
Current Activities The Group Participate In:
- Organising tree walks and talks
- Tree planting and tree aftercare
- Local woodland management
- Street tree watering
- Ongoing training with other regional Tree Warden groups
- Liaising with the council's Forestry Team regarding tree concerns (disease, damage, vandalism)
- Monitoring tree welfare in Solihull, due to land encroachments from new housing and HS2
Future Plans For The Group:
- Supporting the 'Planting Our Future' campaign to plant a quarter of a million trees over ten years
- Encourage tree aftercare for all newly planted trees
- Increase the diversity and understanding of our local trees and heritage to the community of Solihull

How else can I help?
Observe the trees in the streets and the parks by where you live, and if you notice there is a problem with a tree, i.e. it looks like it is dying, or it has been vandalised - report it for inspection by the Forestry Team.
If you know of a newly planted street tree nearby to where you live, you can help the tree to survive through the dry weather, whilst its in its early years of road side growth, by keeping it watered. This will help its root system get established.
With your support, we can help trees to thrive and adapt to our ever-changing environment.
