Trees
Tree Policies
The Town Council are proud owners of many species of trees and aged specimens on council land and acknowledge responsibility to manage these prized assets for the benefit of our community and environment.
We will manage land in the best interests of nature conservation, to support and encourage public access, whilst taking reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm to people or property.

Our Plant a Tree Scheme
This popular initiative is part of the Town Council Environmental Sustainability Climate Change Action Plan. As we all know, trees give us oxygen, store carbon, improve air quality, conserve water, preserve soil, support wildlife, and they also make our communities and open spaces more beautiful and improve our well-being.
Each year we launch the Plant a Tree Scheme in late summer when we invite the public to contribute to the scheme, ready for tree planting to take place from November through to February – the best time to plant trees.
The Plant a Tree list and order form 2026 will be available late Summer.
