New AA Awards celebrate careers in arboriculture
Award entries now closed
The Arboricultural Association is pleased to launch two new awards celebrating the profession; Student of the Year and Young Arborist of the Year.
Each year since 1974 the Arboricultural Association Award has been presented to recognise significant contributions of an individual to the arboricultural industry or profession. These two new categories, which have been kindly sponsored by Tree Life and Lockhart Garratt, seek to recognise the passion and drive of both students taking the first steps and the young arborists already making a difference in our industry.
