Ten years after he organised the first Tree Warden scheme in Haringey, Liberal Democrat councillor Bob Hare spoke at the introduction of the new Tree Warden Scheme.

The new initiative, which was launched at Bruce Castle on 1st December 2007, attracted a packed lecture hall of residents and included the planting of two trees in Bruce Castle Park.

Cllr Bob Hare, Lib Dem Sustainability Spokesperson, comments:

“I was delighted to be able to take part in the launch of a new Tree Warden Scheme for Haringey. The scheme provides training that will help everyone both defend and add to Haringey’s trees. For some people who would like to take it further, the scheme could be an introduction to further training and even work.

“As the organiser of the first Haringey Tree Warden Scheme and a founding member of the Tree Trust I am pleased to see this scheme re-launched for a new generation.”
