Tree Recording

Trees are valuable assets in our community. They provide the pleasant visual “green and leafy” environment that we locals value as well as food and habitat for a range of fauna and flora. Trees reduce the affects of pollution; reduce the likelihood of flooding; lock up carbon; generate oxygen and moderate high and low ambient temperatures for the creatures beneath them. The older the tree the more it contributes. There are many trees along our green corridors.

Recording trees in our area aims to map the significant trees in and around Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale. This will give us a record of our trees; habitat features; identify any particularly interesting specimens and flag up concerns including diseases and pests affecting the trees. We have recorded about over 550 mature trees primarily along our green corridors since 2017 when we started this work.

Recording trees is also intended to be a pleasant social activity that gets people outdoors appreciating the natural environment.

If you would like to find out what we do please email ascot.wildlife@gmail.com and you can come along to one of our group surveys to find out more. We survey between April to September.
