About us

The Herefordshire Tree Forum consists of a group of volunteers and organisations dedicated to promoting the planting, care and preservation of trees throughout the county and to fostering a better understanding of the social, environmental and economic benefits that they provide. In this website we offer information and guidance with the aim of supporting more effective, sustainable management of the County’s green environment and of encouraging a deeper appreciation and active engagement with trees in both the public and private realms.
