Community Stewardship of Trees

Event Information

This panel discussion draws together leading local experts to discuss the vital role of communities in planting and caring for trees.

We will hear from four authorities who each bring different experiences to this most important topic. Each panelist will showcase the work they do, before taking part in a group discussion followed by audience questions.

This is a great opportunity to hear from people involved in tree planting and stewardship, and is also your chance to put your questions to industry experts.
