The Council is very concerned about the environment and particularly interested in trees, woodlands and hedgerows which help create attractive landscapes.
A good environment is essential for the well being of the people of Rotherham and reflects positively on the area, helping to attract investment.
Trees play a vital role in the borough's hugely successful regeneration initiatives. Large areas of land previously used for some of Rotherham's traditional heavy industries have been restored to offer considerable environmental and employment opportunities for the future.
The conservation of trees, woodlands and hedgerows is recognised as a key test of sustainable development
