The Tree Council was founded nearly 50 years ago as the charity focused on trees growing outside the major forests and woodlands – the trees in your street, your local park or school playground, in orchards and hedgerows and pastures around the UK. 

Our work includes:
- Support for a network of more than 5,000 volunteer Tree Wardens who help plant and conserve trees in communities around England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
- Science and social research in partnership with Defra, Forest Research, Fera and others
- An important relationship with Network Rail as their ‘critical friend’ and adviser on vegetation management along 20,000 miles of railway corridors
- An annual community programme, which connects people with trees and the natural world
- Partnerships with our 120 Member organisations; key relations such as the Woodland Trust, Trees for Cities and Learning through Landscapes; academic partners such as Newcastle and Strathclyde Universities; and generous supporters including The Weston Family, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and others.
- A small grants programme for planting with schools and other groups, culminating in National Tree Week every November.
