Our arboricultural strategy builds on the preceding strategy, which was published in 1996.
New tree strategy
We are committed to preparing a new tree strategy for Cambridge, to replace the existing arboricultural strategy.
This work on the tree strategy is at an early stage and as part of this process, the council is holding interactive workshops on the following dates and times:
- 15 March at the Cherry Hinton Village Centre at 12 noon - 7pm
- 21 March at the Meadows Community Centre at 12 noon - 7pm
- 23 March at the Guildhall at 12 noon - 8pm
Residents are invited to drop into any of these sessions and talk to council officers about different
aspects of tree management in areas like new neighborhoods, local nature reserves, and parks and open spaces. Council officers
will collect residents’ thoughts and ideas and use these to develop the strategy.
As part of these events, the
council is organising specific slots for round table discussions and these sessions will be held at 2.30pm and 6pm.
Please let us know in advance if you would like to attend one of these round table sessions, or if you would like to be kept informed of events and progress by emailing us on treesconsultations@cambridge.gov.uk
