The Tree Warden Scheme has been running in the Epping Forest District since 1994. It currently has a network of close to 40 Tree Wardens. The scheme has no formal structure and the Tree Wardens are encouraged to get involved in any aspect of trees that interest them.
Currently the scheme is coordinated in partnership between the Council's Countryside Team and Tree Team in the Planning Directorate. This gives a good mix of practical input as well as information on tree related legislation and procedures.
