Tree Warden

[Andy Clark]

is a tree warden?

 

Another money wasting scam perhaps?

 

 

It's a volunteer scheme run by the Tree Council......

Some time ago my parish Counci approached me with a view to become tree warden. I declined as I felt it would be a conflict of interests. Tbh our local warden doesnt seem to do much tree related, and in fact it took me a long time to find out who he was.

In all seriousness, I think it will be very much down to the individual, the right guy with a bit of backing would be great, IMHO.

i am a climber who volunteered as a tree warden for my parish council. To be honest i am disappointed by my role. I was led to believe that thay would look to me as a person of knowledge and experience in the industry and to advise them on certain aspects but not to have authority as a to would. fine. However when i do advise them on situatiuons we enter into a game of pass the buck or i don't really care. So nothing actually gets done until its too late and it snaps off and crushes somthing. then they are quick to complain. Also tried organising talks or walks to try and educate ppl but fopund most ppl thought they were too good for it and very poor response, which is a cryin ass shame cos my area has some awesome specimins. Shame no one is interested they don't know what they are missing
