About WDVTA

The Association

WDVTA was founded in 2007 initially to support the survey of veteran trees in Wokingham and now has over 230 members. Since then it has extended its activities to include talks, workshops, walks and visits as well as campaigning about local trees, exploring the history of old trees and making presentations about WDVTA to local organisations. In 2010 it broadened its objectives to include a concern for all Wokingham's trees and not just veterans.

WDVTA Objectives

WDVTA aims to promote for public benefit in the district of Wokingham:

• the better identification, protection and management of veteran and other significant trees, and to increase public awareness of their environmental and historical importance
• the conservation, protection and improvement of the environment through the planting, care, nurture and cultivation of trees in general

WDVTA Organisation

WDVTA is managed by a committee led by a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. The AGM is usually held in March and the committee meets between 4 and 5 times a year. The Constitution gives more details of the Association's organisation and objectives.
