Tree FAQs
Who can I contact to find out more about protecting a tree or trees in my area?
If you fear that healthy trees are being unnecessarily removed in your local area, it might also be helpful to contact your local Tree Officer to find out the reasons for the removal. Contact details for your tree officer should be obtainable on your local authority's website, or via their telephone switchboard.
There are also organisations who are on hand to assist in campaigns against the removal of healthy trees, and you may wish to contact them for advice:
The Arboricultural Association

Can Trees for Cities help protect a tree or trees in my area?
Trees for Cities is always saddened to hear of the removal of healthy trees. Due to limited scope and resources we are unable to get involved with campaigning for the protection of individual trees.
