The Somerset Council’s Tree Strategy for 2023-2033 is available to read online. A wide range of stakeholders came together to develop this strategy, which focuses on five main areas:

• Creating a woodland culture
• Making our treescapes more resilient and adaptable to climate change
• Expanding tree coverage across Somerset
• Focusing on the services and products around trees
• Creating a sustainable and flexible governance structure

The strategy is divided into three separate documents:

The Strategy.

The Objectives and Actions document, which breaks these down into deliverable actions.

The Evidence document, which contains further detail and information on the strategy.

All three documents can be downloaded from the Somerset Council website. There is also a short movie on that website page.

If you love trees maybe look at our Tree Group page and maybe nominate a tree you love.
