Summary of the Main Achievements of the Charity for the Year – Chair's Report
This has been a pivotal year for BTP with the appointment of our first member of staff, thanks to funding from the Urban Forest Accelerator project in partnership with the National Trust and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund Trees Call for Action Fund. Katy Hawkins, our Engagement Worker, has worked with communities in
Nechells, Bromford and Firs and Hodge Hill to support them to plant trees in their neighbourhoods and then to maintain them. Thank you to Simon Needle who secured this funding for BTP’s work.
The UFA funding also enabled us to take on a self-employed contractor, Charley McDermott, to provide communications services. She has delivered a monthly newsletter and has greatly increased our social media presence.
Our close working with the National Trust also led to a visioning session for the BTP trustees facilitated by Vic Hopkins from Conquering Chaos. The trustees are reviewing the BTP mission and vision and developing objectives linked to the Urban Forest Master Plan.
Our City of Nature funded contractor, Justine Marklew, finished her contract with us at the start of the year after some great work in Bordesley and Highgate to engage local people with trees in local parks. Justine also co-ordinated the tree planting that BTP committed to delivering for the Birmingham Trees for Life project. The remaining BTFL reserves were transferred from the Civic Trust to pay for this. We are incredibly grateful to the BTFL committee to trusting us to continue their legacy. A special thanks to Sue Griffith from BTFL who came along to BTP committee meetings to ensure that all the BTFL knowledge and wisdom was passed on.
Tree planting has been a large element of work this year. The BTFL plantings were finished and funding agreed from One Tree Planted and Trees for Cities to pay for 100 heavy standard trees in Nechells, Hodge Hill, Bromford and Firs, Newtown and Highters Heath to be planted in the winter of 2023/4. This was a huge amount of work and coordination was required between the BTP trustees, (a huge thank you to Ian McDermott who led on this), our staff and the City Council Tree Officers and tree contractors. There were several events with local people to plant the trees at which poems were read, songs sung, tree knowledge shared and trees decorated.
The trustees have been writing a tree planting strategy for the city which meets the objectives of the Urban Forest Master Plan and will help inform future tree planting both in terms of species selection and locations.
A new tree planting initiative has been launched this year by BTP. Called Treemembrance, it gives people the opportunity to pay for a memorial tree on City Council owned land. Trustee Julianne Statham co-ordinated this project and has so far
planted a tree for the Debt Justice campaign and is supporting several families with their memorial trees.
Tree surveying was also a busy area for BTP this year. There were two projects; the street tree survey continued and has been managed by trustee Nina Griffiths. She has trained more volunteers and in March, funding was secured from the West Midlands Combined Authotity’s Community Environment Fund to pay volunteer expenses and provide equipment and training. The second project was the itree project which was funded by the WMCA and in partnership with Treeconomics and Barton Hyatt. BTP’s volunteers were trained and completed 450 plots within a couple of months.
The street tree survey has been supported by University of Birmingham students, Emily Bennett completed her student placement with the charity and Naya Desai has started her PhD on street trees. We are grateful to Deanne Brettle and Emma Ferranti for supporting these students in their work with BTP.
Trustee, Deanne Brettle, has also been leading on developing digital tree trails which are now on Treeplotter. These are being promoted to engage people across the city with trees in their local parks.
Monthly training has continued this year, led by Ian McDermott:
April - Biodiversity Net Gain online training session with Simon Needle May - Biodiversity Net Gain practical session in Holders Lane Woods with Simon Needle
June - itree eco survey session
July - no session
August - Summer Social Sunday tree session at Winterbourne Gardens with presentation of certificates to the Level 2 Arboriculture students September - street tree survey interim results - online session October - trees in planning applications - online session with Simon Needle November - Orchard pruning at Manor Farm Park December - Highbury Park - conifer identification session January - choosing a tree contractor - online session February - Orchard pruning at Bromford and Firs with Open Door March - Highbury Park - winter tree identification
Ian McDermott also co-ordinated the second Level 2 Arboriculture course which started in April 2023. Many thanks also to Steve Watson who delivered the Soils Module and Tonia Clark who led the Biology module. There are 8 students working their way this course which will finish in 2025. There is the possibility that we may be able to also run a Level 4 course and this is being developed.
There have been several promotional and other training activities undertaken during the year. Two sessions on trees have been run for the Eden Project Communities programme and talks given to the Calthorpe Residents Association and the Coventry Tree wardens group.
Projects for 2024-25 were also started during the were; the Tree Board, the Benjamin Zephaniah legacy forest and the Tree Cities of the World conference in June 2024 in Birmingham.
BTP is fortunate in having a group of dedicated, hard-working trustees and paid workers who have ambitious plans for the growth of the charity.
