ATF Cornwall

Our Cornish group formed in 2007 and now has nearly 200 members on the mailing list, and about 20 regular tree recorders. It is currently chaired by Tim Kellett with a secretary, treasurer and newsletter editor. It is a very active group which focuses on tree management and protection and recording trees onto the Ancient Tree Inventory.

The group works closely with the National Trust, The Woodland Trust, Cornwall Wildlife Trust, The Duchy of Cornwall and Cornwall Council.

The Cornwall group holds smaller field events at historic sites where they record trees, undertake historical research and provide informal advice on management. Informal training for tree recorders is often given to new members. The group has produced a number of reports (see below) and has also been very successful at getting stories about ancient and veteran trees into the local media.
