How to become a supporter
ATO relies on subscriptions from its members and income from supporters to operate and represent its members.
Becoming an ATO supporter provides you with an opportunity to have your company logo on the ATO website, with a 500-word description of your company and its products, at an annual cost of £360 per annum. You will also get a rectangular box with your company logo on the bottom of each website page with the ability to click on the box through to your company website. As a new supporter you will be able to do a 5 minute presentation about your company at the start of one of our twice yearly online seminars. This opportunity will provide exposure for your company, and your support will assist ATO to represent tree officers when dealing with matters concerning central government and regional local authorities.
One of the benefits of becoming an ATO supporter is direct access to sponsorship opportunities as and when they arise. Being a ATO sponsor will provide your company with additional targeted exposure.
Please contact the National Co-ordinator on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you are interested in being a supporter. Please submit a written application via email on how your company aligns with our vision. This will be emailed to Directors for approval. Your company or organisation should work in the arboricultural sector.

Tree Life
Tree Life has been dedicated to improving people’s understanding of trees and their management since 1997. From humble beginnings, we have grown into the premier independent UK training provider and are proud to count numerous tree officers amongst our previous and current students.
Not only do we teach up to degree level, we also ‘practice what we preach’, with our founder Dave Dowson being an AA Registered Consultant, and fully qualified expert witness. The current Level 4 Diploma in Arboriculture and the strategic ATP in Urban Tree Management exist as a direct result of Dave’s tireless endeavours on behalf of the profession. Many people will now be familiar with the Professional Tree Inspection course, another of Dave’s achievements in his quest to establish consistent and recognised best practice across the industry.
Our mission has always been to improve the treatment of trees by improving education for all. We rely on the likes of tree officers up and down the country to put that theory into practice. So, we take our corporate hat off to ATO members and applaud the work they do, and the achievements they are able to make under sometimes very difficult and challenging circumstances.
As well as teaching the Level 2, 4 and ATP online, Tree Life offers Professional Tree Inspection training and other short courses online & in the classroom – for details and locations, please visit our website at www.treelifeac.co.uk or feel free to give the office a call on 01162606939

Euroforest Ltd
Euroforest Ltd is multi-disciplined company working within the Arboricultural, Forestry and Urban Woodland sectors. The company has been involved with various Local Authorities nationwide providing expert and professional services.
Euroforest have been working at the forefront of the Ash Dieback response across the UK since 2012. We have led visits to other countries to learn from their experiences, considered UK legislation and created our own Ash Dieback safety systems, guidance and protocols which have been adopted by the Forest Industry Safety Accord (FISA).
Euroforest are aware of the costs involved when managing dead and dangerous trees and we believe these can be reduced by early engagement within the tender process. The core business is timber harvesting and marketing, therefore we have whole market access for wood fibre and the byproduct from our work is sold to offset costs.
Euroforest can support ATO’s efforts to raise public awareness about the importance of tree management and conservation through joint campaigns, media outreach, and educational materials. They could also advocate for policies that benefit urban and rural forestry, supporting ATO’s mission.
How Euroforest intend to support the ATO
- Provide specialist advice regarding the management of pests and diseases in the UK
- Provide Arboricultural Consultancy services, knowledge and experiences
- Provide expert knowledge in relation to replanting and improving wildlife habitats
- Provide financial incentives for by-products from tree removal operations
- Provide support with producing tender documents and specifications
- Provide project / contract management services
- Provide specialist machinery for all types of projects
- Provide support with local engagements with schools, public, third-party organisations
- Provide volunteer days for projects relating to Local Authority or Charities that are of interest to the ATO
- Provide members of staff to be involved within constructive conversations and discussions regarding current tree health issues.
This collaboration would benefit both Euroforest and ATO, promoting sustainable forestry practices while enhancing the knowledge and capabilities of tree officers across the region.
Whilst we thank the companies that support ATO and the work we do with Tree Officers we do not approve nor endorse the work or services of the above companies.
