Latest News

🌳 Did you know there are more than 8,500 veteran trees across Wokingham Borough? Well, you probably didn’t, and nor did we until we read the recently published survey from the Wokingham District Veteran Tree Association (WDVTA)! They are a volunteer organisation that wants to encourage everyone living in or near Wokingham to appreciate the beauty and value of our local trees. More than 140 volunteers have helped record and photograph trees across the borough over 20 years and here are a few interesting facts from the report: 🌳 Oak is the most common species, with 4,575 English oaks recorded, making up more than half of the database. 🌳 Many trees are hundreds of years old. An oak with a girth of 4 metres could be more than 200 years old. 🦉 Veteran trees provide valuable habitats for wildlife, while also helping to store carbon and absorb pollutants . 🌳 258 trees have been lost since the survey began that were alive when first recorded. Reasons include storms, disease, natural decline and development. Although the survey has now closed, you can still explore the trees recorded across the borough on their website which has an interactive tree map. They also publish a regular Tree Watch newsletter. You can find out more about joining the association and help support its work to protect older trees and identify younger trees that could become the veterans of the future.
