Tree management policy

How we manage and maintain Southwark’s trees.

We have around over 100,000 trees in Southwark. We map and record the history of every tree. 

Our team of experienced tree professionals keep them healthy and safe. 

Our tree management policy explains how we manage Southwark’s trees. It covers:

  • where trees are located in Southwark
  • where we’ve identified a need for more trees
  • challenges affecting our trees (such as pollution or pests) and how we plan to address these
  • how we plan to work with community partners to manage trees
