Paul Hodges
Tree Warden
Tree Warden are local volunteers who work with the Parish Council to help protect and enhance the trees and woodlands in our community. Appointed by the council, their role involves monitoring the condition of local trees, reporting any issues such as disease or damage, and supporting tree planting and conservation initiatives. They also help to raise awareness of the importance of trees for biodiversity, climate, and overall community wellbeing.
In Bartestree with Lugwardine, we are fortunate to have two dedicated Tree Warden: Mr Paul Hodges. They play a vital part in helping the parish maintain and nurture its natural environment, and they work closely with residents, landowners, and local groups to encourage good practice in tree care and management. If you have any concerns about local trees or would like to know more about planting or protecting trees in the parish, please feel free to get in touch via the Parish Clerk.

Lengthsman Coordinator
The Lengthsman Coordinator for Bartestree and Lugwardine Parish Council helps manage local maintenance tasks that keep our villages safe, tidy, and pleasant for residents and visitors. This includes overseeing work such as clearing drains, cutting back overgrown vegetation, and minor repairs to footpaths, signs, and other community assets.
The coordinator ensures that local priorities are addressed promptly and effectively. Parishioners are encouraged to report any issues so they can be added to the Lengthsman’s schedule and dealt with as part of the council’s commitment to local care and maintenance.
