A world class Arboriculture Conference

“This year’s Arboricultural Association Conference at Exeter, Soils & Trees, maintained its position as one of the best in the world.”

“Some really good stuff on day two of the Arboricultural Association Soils and Trees Conference – reinforcing the notion that every site and situation is different, and our specifications should never be used as recipe books. A truly enjoyable conference and such a privilege to be able to be involved.”
Mark Roberts – Roberts Consulting (New Zealand)
An enlightened approach to the Urban Forest
Under the four broad topic areas of ‘Natural function’, ‘Governance, guidance and application’, ‘Pruning methodologies<’ and ‘Challenging current practice’, we will explore in depth the latest understanding, theories, technologies and procedures while taking an honest look at past and present practices in order to help drive the industry towards a more enlightened approach to our day-to day relationship with the urban forest.
