Borough of Telford & Wrekin

Trees and woodland

The Environmental Maintenance team looks after trees and woodland on council owned land and verges in the borough, along with a number of attractive open spaces.

We are also committed to preserving ancient woodland at The Ercall, Limekiln Wood and Granville Country Park.

What do we do?
We currently employ two full time Aboricultural Officers who work with our contractors Telford and Wrekin Services (TWS) to manage and monitor borough trees, help with public queries and provide information on tree conservation and management.

What can you do?
If you need any help or guidance on tree issues or tree protection orders, have a look at our Frequently Asked Questions or details on 'Right to Light' and television licences. If the answer you need isn't there, contact the tree team on 01952 384384 or email.

Please be aware that tree surgery can be very dangerous and should only be carried out by qualified personnel with the correct licences and equipment.
Any works undertaken are required to meet British Standards.
