WDVTA is working to ensure that Wokingham's veteran and other significant trees
are properly identified, protected and managed - and to increase public awareness of their
beauty and contribution to the town's heritage and amenity.

Since 2007 we have been surveying, recording and photographing veteran trees in Wokingham Borough.
We have over 8000 trees in our database - take a look at our
Tree Map to see the results.
Veteran trees are those that have reached full maturity and showing signs of ageing.

The age at which this occurs varies with species - an oak tree, say, will take
many more years to mature than a silver birch. Girth is a good indicator of age and you can
learn more from our Tree Sizing Guide.
WDVTA is also recording trees planted in public places for memorial and commemorative purposes and
collecting these in a separate database.
Our aim is to encourage everyone living in or near Wokingham
to appreciate the beauty and value of our local treescape.

Our main activity has been the survey and compilation of the
database of Wokingham's veteran trees. The trees in the database
can be seen on our Tree Map with their details and photos.
From time to time we organise events such as guided walks, training courses
and talks on tree-related topics. Most events are open to non-members.
