The Arboricultural Association Conference once again features a world-class lineup of presenters, covering a range of topics relevant to those working in arboriculture and related industries.
A landmark publication capturing over 30 years of progress in tree conservation. The story of pollarded trees is one of growing understanding and growing importance.
The Tree Care Manual is for anyone who has a tree in their garden or is considering planting one – it is for tree enthusiasts and those who want to learn more about these incredible organisms. *Dispatching from February 2026
Our ‘What is Arboriculture?’ video is here to promote the range of amazing career opportunities and variety of skillsets within arboriculture - Every amenity tree you see in your day-to-day lives is there because of the work of a long chain of professionals, perhaps dozens or even hundreds of individuals working in different areas of arboriculture, all part of the tree care community!
Inspiring, supporting and promoting the tree care community for a society that better appreciates and cares for trees.
The Arboricultural Association is the leading organisation in the UK for tree care professionals working in all areas of arboriculture, including central and local government, consultancy, contracting, management, production, policymaking, research and education. It has more than 3000 members in the UK and around the world, and is increasingly recognised as an international, as well as a national, leader in arboriculture.
