Arboretum Internationale delivers a professional consultancy service addressing issues of tree safety, personal injury at work and the increasingly complicated field of trees within the planning system liaising with architects, town planners, and developers.

We have extensive experience of working with clients to achieve sensible compromise solutions for trees located in conservation areas, or subject to tree preservation orders and planning conditions throughout Scotland.

Our team work as expert witnesses guiding legal counsel in matters relating to injuries and property damage where there is an arboricultural involvement.

Over many years we have worked with national bodies to set national standards for those undertaking arboricultural and forestry work, creating best practice documents, training standards and operator safety guidance.

Hazard tree and tree safety inspections are an integral part of our normal tree reporting systems.

In recent years, we have become one of the leading exponents of veteran tree management, striving to retain old, often defective trees with invaluable and dependant flora and fauna in locations with high public use.

Areas include:

Arboriculture (tree surgery) • Forestry accidents at work involving employees, third parties & /or property • Trees on development sites (planning & protection issues) • Trees & low-rise building subsidence.

Injury or damage caused by tree failure • Damage to trees by third parties • Illegal tree work operations (felling).
