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 b
est 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
