Answer: The Council does not normally give advice on tree care and management, although you can find some general advice and links on the Countryside Service's website (www.iwight.com/countryside). If you need particular advice on your trees you are advised to consult a tree specialist. This is particularly important if you are concerned about the safety of a tree, or a legal matter such as a boundary dispute. A list of qualified persons is maintained by the council. - Related Link
