Protecting Our Trees

WOODLAND TRUST

Add a tree to the Ancient Tree Inventory by putting old trees on the map and you’ll be helping the fight to protect them.

Ancient trees are as much a part of our heritage as stately homes, cathedrals and works of art. But they don’t get the same protection.

Once you’ve spotted an old tree, adding a record is easy.

• 1. Find and plot the location of the tree.
• 2. Enter basic information about the tree such as species, girth size and access.
• 3. Your tree record will automatically be sent for checking and approval by one of our verifiers.

 

The Parish Council has today, 6th July 2026, signed the CPRE pledge, 'On The Edge' to protect and regenerate the countryside around us.

The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) has launched its ‘On the Edge’ campaign with a call for urgent government action to protect the fragile and often-forgotten countryside on the edges of England’s towns and cities

The campaign invites people across England to pledge their support and contribute to what CPRE believes will be the first-ever interactive map of the English countryside on the edges of towns and cities. The map is powered by people’s own stories and memories of the places that matter to them.

The ‘edgelands’ around our towns and cities are among the most undervalued landscapes in the country. Under constant threat of development and neglected by policymakers, they are simultaneously vital corridors for nature, critical buffers against climate change and the primary point of contact with the countryside for the 85% of Britons who live in urban areas.
