The Arboricultural Association is a registered charity with a mission to promote trees and the profession which enables their sustainable management.
Over the past few years we have been engaging partners in related industry sectors as well as educating MPs through our parliamentary group. In 2017 we are keen to spread awareness and increase knowledge of the benefits of trees and of tree care professionals to the wider public. The Association welcomes anyone interested in working together to further these goals.
As a charity, here are just a few of the things we’re providing to reach our mission:
