Tree Guardians
Tree Guardians are young people who have an interest in, and want to learn more about the trees, woodlands and hedgerows in their school and community. The aim of the scheme is to give young people a greater responsibility for and increased awareness of their environment.
The Tree Guardian Scheme is the junior arm of the Tree Warden Scheme in Cheshire and is coordinated by Cheshire Landscape Trust.
