The Isle of Wight Red Squirrel Forum with the Isle of Wight Council and Parish Councils are looking into the possibility of recruiting and training tree wardens.
Several Parishes have wardens already and we would like to extend the scheme across the Island. Initially we are asking for names and the Parish potential volunteer wardens could cover.
Later in September a meeting of interested people will be arranged.
What is involved?
Want to see what the role entails? Visit the Tree Council website – Become a Tree Warden – Tree Council Volunteer Tree Wardens – as we are using their ideas as a guide.
Good communication skills are essential for this role! As well as looking after trees, there is an opportunity to record species of flora and fauna spotted, including red squirrels.
Get in touch
Please email your name and Parish to Helen and you will be contacted in September when we have further details to give you.
The email address is: [email protected]
