We have some responsibility for managing trees, hedgerows and woodlands within York.
Read more about our responsibilities in connection with public trees (trees on council land).
Trees within conservation areas and trees that are of visual value can be protected by tree preservation orders (TPOs).
See further information about the value of trees.
Woodlands are protected by forestry legislation overseen by the Forestry Commission.
Report issues with public trees or hedgerows
We can only carry out work to public trees and hedgerows (trees or hedges on council land) where there is an identified health and safety issue.
