Chichester Tree Wardens Celebrating trees in Chichester and practical tree information. Please keep posts polite (everyone is responsible for their own posts).

Sharing our appreciation of trees in Chichester and curating online information that may be useful to local tree lovers; encouraging conservation of existing trees and identifying opportunities to plant trees for future generations to enjoy. Conceived by two of Chichester’s volunteer Tree Wardens to help us be better Tree Wardens, this page will evolve as we understand how it can help others and best be used to enjoy and look after the trees in Chichester. It will be moderated with a light touch to encourage courteous, constructive comment and conversation, irrespective of any disagreement. If you have a favourite tree (or trees), please browse our photo albums to see if someone else loves it/them too. Over time, we aim to build up photographic records of the trees that lift our spirits when out and about in Chichester, showing how they look from different angles, at different times of year and through the years. If your favourite tree does not yet have its own album, please create one using the road name and something to identify the tree, e.g. Sherborne Road – oak tree opposite Scout Hut, or West Street – lime trees by cathedral, or similar, and add as many photographs (with dates if you can) and observations as you like. And feel free to add your tree photographs to its existing album. For more information on the national Tree Warden scheme, please see http://www.treecouncil.org.uk/Take-Part/Tree-Wardens
Or to find out what it’s like to be a volunteer Tree Warden in Chichester, and how you can help, please feel free to contact Jenny Cole or Paula Chatfield.

Discovering Havant’s remarkable trees
Our well-attended “Spring in Your Step” walk explored some of central Havant’s finest trees. Starting at St Faith’s Church, we admired the magnificent Common Yew recorded on the Ancient Tree Inventory. In Havant Park, where the Tree Wardens have measured and recorded every tree, we found London Planes with girths of more than four metres. The walk finished at New Lane and Eastern Road Cemeteries, taking in a rich variety of trees and hedges planted by the Friends group. A lovely morning of local history, nature and community.
Don't forget to join us for our seed gathering walk on October 10

We’ll be in Hayling next Sunday 11 October and Monday 12 October for a wildflower working party and could really do with extra help. We’ll also be giving the young trees a bit of TLC. Everyone welcome
