The Arboricultural Advisory and Information Service
Based at the Forestry Commission's Research Station at Farnham, the
AAIS provides a premium enquiry line service available to home
owners, tree managers, designers and anybody who from time to time
may be faced with a tree related problem. Called ‘Tree
Helpline’ (telephone number 09065 161147) this line service is
staffed five days per week (Monday to Friday) between 8.45am and
5.00 pm. Outside these hours an answerphone will be available
to record enquiries which will be followed up subsequently and
information supplied as appropriate.Although each telephone call is
charged through telephone bills at £1.50 per minute, the specialist
service will save enquirers considerable time seeking information
and guidance from other sources. Staff will be available to
give practical guidance on aspects of trees and related
subjects. Where an enquiry cannot be answered by telephone,
information will be asked for and a written reply will be prepared
(additional costs will be notified in advance). The ‘Tree
Helpline’ can also be contacted via e-mail:
