We deliver short, discussion‑based CPD sessions for professionals who deal with trees in the planning and development process. These bite‑size talks are ideal for team meetings, breakfast briefings or lunchtime “lunch & learn” slots, typically 30–60 minutes long.
Who our sessions are for
Tailored sessions for planners, surveyors and estate managers who need clear, practical guidance on trees in relation to development, highways and estates.
What we cover
Our talks focus on real‑world issues, including:
All content is kept up to date with current British Standards and national guidance so your team can better understand the issues around trees on and around development sites and engage more confidently with arboricultural advice.
Bespoke topics on request
If you have a particular challenge or project type, we can design a session around your needs – for example, recurring planning issues, common report queries, or briefing new staff on how trees interact with the planning system. Just tell us your audience and the outcomes you want, and we will build a focused, practical session to match.
Each attendee can be provided with a short summary and attendance note so they can record the session as informal or self‑directed CPD with their professional body or employer, subject to local CPD rules.
We deliver sessions for local authorities, planning teams, property professionals, and estate managers.
