Trees and hedges

Welcome to the Trees pages - an easy to use guide to help you access a range of subjects associated with trees in Woking.

Topics covered include:

• Use the Your Local Services search to find out if a tree is protected
• Maintenance of street trees
• Where to find advice on trees

Surrey has the greatest density of tree cover in England, and in Woking, a history of nursery production has left an especially rich legacy of trees in the Borough's parks, gardens and open spaces.

The Council provides a number of services in relation to trees which aim to conserve our natural heritage, promote the care of trees, and assist in overcoming problems that occasionally arise with trees.

On 1 October 2008 the new TPO regulations come into force. These introduce a standard application form for work to protected trees and a fast track appeals system.
