Callum Throw – Recognised in Modern Arboriculture

Winning the 2025 award reflects Callum’s dedication to advancing arboriculture through professional practice, innovation, and industry engagement. His work exemplifies the values the Arboricultural Association seeks to promote.

Callum’s passion and enthusiasm for trees, combined with his love of modern technology, is truly admirable.

The recognition also reinforces the importance of young professionals in shaping the future of arboriculture, particularly as the industry continues to evolve in response to environmental, technological, and planning challenges.

The Arboricultural Association’s 2025–2027 strategic plan highlights the continued importance of its members and volunteers. A key part of this vision is the role of Arb Ambassadors—professionals who actively promote arboriculture, support education, and advocate for best practice.

Callum’s contribution goes far beyond technology. His drive to engage with the younger generation is helping to show school leavers that a career in arboriculture is both accessible and exciting.

Young professionals, like Callum, play a crucial role in this future by helping to strengthen the profession, engage new audiences, and raise standards across the industry.

Congratulations to Callum Throw on this well-deserved achievement—and to the Arboricultural Association and Nicholsons for continuing to support and champion the next generation of tree professionals.
