The Tree Council Explained

The Tree Council was founded in 1974 in the United Kingdom, and became a registered charity in 1978. Its primary objective is to act as an umbrella organisation for local groups involved in the planting, care and conservation of trees throughout the United Kingdom, and followed the successful government-sponsored Plant A Tree In '73 campaign.

The charity is based at Canada Water, Surrey Quays, London.^[1] Its initiatives include:

• In 2002, selecting 50 Great British Trees to honour the Queen's Golden Jubilee of accession to the throne
• Supporting the UK government's Big Tree Plant campaign, which planted one million trees between 2011 and 2015
• Supporting the 2017 Charter for Trees, Woods and People
• Supporting the Queen's Green Canopy to mark her Platinum Jubilee in 2022^[2]
• Organising National Tree Week in November each year^[3]

Notable people

Landscape architect and garden designer Sylvia Crow was the organisation's chairman between 1974 and 1976.^[4]
