-==Function==
-The Arboriculture Association continually strives to raise awareness of the importance of urban and amenity trees and gives a voice to everyone working within the wide and varied industry. Working with the Arboriculture Association allows the progression of the disciplines of arboriculture and makes the villages, towns and cities of the UK greener.
-Membership with the AA provides support and benefits which are tailored to the members' needs as they progress through a career in arboriculture. Members have access to a wide range of benefits, along with the opportunity to get involved with the key developments and decisions in the industry and make their voices heard.
 ==History==
+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''.<ref name=treeexperts />
-The AA was founded in 1964 as a scientific and educational organisation, keen to promote the care and value of trees in no forest settings. The passion for trees shown by the founders at that time continues to exist in the Board and members today.
-Following initial discussions between Keith Ross, Don Wells and other interested parties, the Arboricultural Association was formed, and in the same year the Association of British Tree Surgeons and Arborists (ABTSA) was also formed.
-In May 1965 Issue 1 of Volume 1 of ''The Arboricultural Association Journal'' was published. In this year the AA was also involved in developing new tree-relaed standards and documents including BS3936:1965 Nursery Stock - Trees and Shrubs; BS3998:1966 Recommendations for Tree Work" and BS4043:1966 Semi-Mature Trees. The first AA Advisory Leaflet "Tree Preservation Orders" is also published.
-In 1974 at the Arboricultural Annual Conference at Merrist Wood College, the AA and ABTSA formally merged to become the "new" AA incorporating ABTSA. Don Wells reported that the Scottish Branch had been very active since 1971. He further reported that "a Register of Consultants has been drawn up and well established" and that the AA were involved in preparation of British Standards for "Extra Heavy Trees" and "Tree Roots and Construction".
