Groundwork are working in conjunction with Manchester City Council to recruit volunteer Tree Wardens in Manchester.

The Tree Wardens Scheme is part of a national volunteer scheme, set up by the Tree Council in 1987 in response to the loss of 15 million trees in the Great Storm. Manchester Tree Wardens act as guardians for local trees, celebrating some of the fantastic examples of trees in their area and reporting any tree issues, including disease and health and safety issues.

Some Tree Wardensalso participate in tree planting and woodland management activities in their area and also citywide. The Scheme provides free training and support as well as a special pack giving guidance with regard to the role. If you would like more information or a registration pack, please contact the Customer and Community Engagement Team on 0161 274 6422 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
