Dave Lofthouse Tree Walk

Dave Lofthouse worked for Merton Council for 30 years as Tree Officer and then Arboricultural Manager. He lived at The Canons house. Dave added many new trees and developed an arboretum. It has been named in his memory as the Lofthouse Canons Arboretum.

Our Dave Lofthouse Tree Walk is the ideal way to explore the astonishing, varied and unique arboretum that is Dave’s legacy.

Our Cricket Green Charter was published as part of our celebration of 50 years of Mitcham Cricket Green Conservation Area. It builds on our first charter, which was prepared in 2013.

The Cricket Green Charter sets out principles to be used by everyone involved in policies, investment priorities and decisions about the future of Cricket Green.
