Farmer’s Guide to Ash Dieback Webinar
Wednesday 29th November 6pm (UK time)
With Eleanor Marks (LEAF) and Berglind Karlsdóttir (Forest Research)
Farmers manage around 70% of the UK’s land area, and many of our trees grow in farming landscapes across fields, hedgerows, near roadsides and near buildings. However, foresters are not well versed in reaching farmers and engaging around tree health issues in a way that resonates with farmers and their priorities. In this talk, we’ll be discussing how and why to improve engagement with farmers, using the ‘Farmer’s Guide to Ash Dieback’ as an example.Watch last week's Treetime launch webinar with Ted Green:

Our new ‘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.
The video was be at the centre of our campaign for Green Careers Week (6th – 11th November 2023) and anyone will be able to use it to support talks to schools and local groups. There’s also a new leaflet available with a QR code that links to the video. The YouTube clip below is available for anyone to share and use.Watch now > What is Arb Campaign > What is Arboriculture Resources
Free Arb Resource Packs Available
Are you going to an event or just want to promote tree care in your local area? Every week we fulfil requests for free arboricultural resource packs from members and the public. Click below to see what’s available and order a pack.

Roots - A Field Guide for Identification
- A groundbreaking new field guide. Available in English for the first time.
- Roots from 45 species of street and park trees with high resolution photos and detailed descriptions
By Kristin Moldestad and Olve Lundetræ
What do roots look like? Is it possible to find out in the field which tree species a root belongs to? The appearance of tree roots has barely been studied, but by increasing our knowledge and understanding, we can ensure that more trees are preserved. This book gives a unique insight into what the roots of different trees look like, exploring a hitherto little-described underground world.
Roots from 45 species of street and park trees are featured in photographs accompanied by descriptions of each example’s anatomical characteristics, habit and, in some cases, scent. The book is practically oriented and allows you to identify roots in the field, whether you are a professional or just curious about one of the most important parts of the tree – the underground system, where nutrients, water and oxygen exchange happen to create the basis for everything we see above ground.

The UK’s biggest Arboriculture Conference
A new format and a spectacular new venue
The UK’s biggest arboriculture conference presents an innovative new format and world-class lineup of incredible UK and international speakers covering a wide range of topics relevant to everyone working in arboriculture and related environmental sectors.
Early Bird Deadline: 7th August 2023
SPEAKER PREVIEW: Kristin Moldestad (Norway)
A field guide to identification of tree roots
Kristin is a consulting arborist at COWI A/S and a part-time teacher at a technical college in Norway. She has been in the arboriculture industry for about 20 years and is often out on building and infrastructure construction sites ensuring that the correct procedures are followed to protect existing trees. She also collaborates with architects and landscape architects to find good solutions for preserving trees. Over the last two years, she has dedicated herself to studying tree roots.
Abstract
Construction works and existing trees are a common and complex combination. The responsibility for overseeing the protection and wellbeing of trees on a site often falls to arborists. When it comes to trunks and crowns, methods of species identification and assessment are plentiful and well known, but this has not been the case for tree roots. The aim of our project has been to create a field guide for arborists to aid the identification of roots. My colleagues and I are often on site to ensure that the correct procedures are followed to protect existing trees. When digging works reveal tree roots, it is not always obvious which tree the roots belong to. Roots can expand far beyond a tree’s crown, and they are covered in soil and dirt. This recurring challenge – and our professional responsibility to save trees – inspired me and my colleague Olve Lundetræ to study more closely the roots we came across during our work. We began to assess roots more systematically as they appeared in trenches and on building sites. As a result, we learned that roots of different species are almost as different as their branches and leaves. We found roots with beautiful colours, amazing patterns, strange bark and different structures, and some with a distinct smell. So far, we have identified roots from around 40 different tree species. Our field guide includes descriptions and photographs of the roots. We hope that this information will help other arborists on site, and perhaps give them the evidence they need to change the direction of a trench or get a planned building moved by a few metres.

Conference Field Trip: Coombe Abbey
This year’s field trip features a specially curated visit to the spectacular Coombe Abbey, with an interactive, tree-focused visit to the estate which boasts 500 acres of beautiful gardnes, woodland and lakeside walks designed and landscaped by Capability Brown.
Full workshop programme to be announced
*Programme and speakers subject to change
Booking includes on-demand access to speaker session recordings (Post-event talks from the day of your booking)
The 56th Arboricultural Association Conference features a new format that delivers fantastic content, better value and more opportunities to catch up with old friends and colleagues, and meet like-minded professionals. On Sunday delegates are invited to attend the Masters final of the 2023 UK & Ireland Tree Climbing Competition, followed by a drinks reception. The seminar and workshop sessions will take place on Monday and Tuesday in the spectacular new Warwick University Oculus Conference centre. The field trip will take place on Wednesday featuring more conference content and a guided tour of some of the best trees at beautiful Coombe Abbey.
Why the new format?
Feedback from delegates in person and reviewing the post conference surveys showed a trend, with many saying they could not justify three full days away from the office. Discussions with partners around the world also highlighted the need for in person conferences to do things differently, with so much high-quality online content available for free. The new conference format is intended to offer flexibility, so those that wish to attend the full three days, plus Sunday’s activities can still do so. While those who can only attend two days will have access to all the presentations and workshop sessions. The change also means a reduction in the cost of a whole Conference package ticket.
