The Tree Council
The Tree Council was founded in 1973 in the United Kingdom, and became a registered charity in 1978.[1] Its primary objective is to act as an umbrella organisation for local groups involved in the planting, care and conservation of trees throughout the United Kingdom, and its creation followed the government-sponsored Plant A Tree In '73 campaign.
The charity is based at Canada Water, Surrey Quays, London.[2] Its activities include:
- Managing a national force of volunteer Tree Wardens who champion their local trees
- Young Tree Champions programme
- Orchards for Schools
- Science and research
- Trees Outside Woodland
- Community grants
