Great Trees Of Poole

Trees are of vital importance to the world for many reasons. Each one of us should understand their importance and be actively concerned with the conservation of trees; not only as objects of value in their own right, but also because of the variety of life they support in diverse and complex ways.

Many thousands of trees have been removed from Britain in the recent past, some in the form of hedgerows and natural woodland, leaving only a small minority to survive. These remaining trees have persisted through all forms of natural and unnatural pressure during the course of their lives, and developed into great trees.

These are many Great Trees around the country and the below links showcase some of our finest. The trees are accessible to the general public and can be found close to other places of interest. A difficult choice to make but each and every tree chosen represents Poole for either its historical value, its rarity, its value as a landmark or because of the contribution it offers to the community.
