  1. • Tree Warden Activities Tre in Epping Forest District by Kevin Mason • Presentation for the East Anglian Tree Wardens forum 6 th October 2019. •

  3. Regular Epping Forest Tree Warden activities • We have a number of voluntary tree wardens who keep a watchful eye on trees within their own patch. • Report on the condition of street trees, make suggestions for new trees, and initiate community projects, with local schools, and help survey trees and hedgerows.

  4. Other activities : Health benefits of trees

  5. More activities: HEDGEROWS • Planting • Surveying • The Great British Hedgerow Survey. • https://hedgerowsurvey.ptes.org • Managing

  6. Recording trees in our district. www.favouritetrees.org

  7. What about futureTree Wardens?

  8. Getting Schools involved • Subjects covered include:- • School governors. • Biology – Tree Species identification • After school clubs. • Geography- plotting the tree on • Junior Tree wardens. a map • Surveying the trees in the school • Mathematics - measuring and grounds. working out how old and tall the tree is. • History - what was going on when the tree was planted

  9. Biology • Species are identified Using the OPAL tree ID guide. •

  10. Oak tree in the school grounds • Our tree is an OAK • Its circumference is • 3.93 metres • Its grid reference • is TQ44305 97726

  11. Geography: Plotting the tree on a map. Use smartphone GPS to get the grid reference co ordinates

  12. Mathematics: how old is the tree? • Our tree is 3.93 metres circumference. • To get its age as an open grown tree divide by 2.5. • 393/2.5 = 157.2 years old. • So the tree started growing in 1862

  13. Mathematics - How tall is the tree?

  14. History what was happening in the world in 1860 ? • Woodland trust. • How to estimate the age of an oak. • Queen Victoria • New railways just been built 1856 Great Eastern Railway.

  15. Trees removing particulates from the atmosphere. https://shiny-apps.ceh.ac.uk/pollutionremoval/ • Trees remove air pollution, and this has health benefits to society that can be valued. Values vary due to levels of pollution, population density, and other factors. • This tool allows users to explore the change in value resulting from new woodland planting, or removal of existing woodland, and its ability to remove PM2.5 pollution. • The tool is based on new modelling by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) and Economics for the environment consultancy (eftec). A more detailed explanation of the tool and assumptions behind the work in the button below.
