Management of Westonbirt's Collection

 

Looking after our tree collection and landscape is a vitally important task for the Foretsry Commission to ensure that we maintain and enhance the Collection in perpetuity.

Westonbirt has a dedicated 'Tree Team' who undertake this essential role. The team consists of a dedicated database manager who maintains our GIS system and tree records, specialist arboriculuralists who work on the trees themselves and a propagator responsible for accessions to the collection and raising new specimens.

 In addition the arboretum team is supported by Forestry Commission Research and STIHL.
