History

[edit | edit source]

The organisation was inaugurated in 1964. In 1965, it began publishing the Arboricultural Association Journal. In 1971, the organisation established the Register of Consultants in Arboriculture, intended to improve the quality of arboricultural services available through standardisation. In 1974, the Arboricultural Association merged with the Association of British Tree Surgeons and Arborists (founded in 1963). Following the merger, the name of the organisation's journal was changed to Arboricultural Journal.[4]
