Welcome to the Singapore Arboriculture Society (SAS)

Special Announcement!!!

Singapore was polled to be most renowned for its tree management and landscaping works in a recent residential survey carried out by Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009.

This opinion poll was one of the highlights presented at the seminar that brought together tree experts, scholars and seasoned practitioners from Australia, Singapore, Hawaii, Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China to share their views and experiences on urban tree management.

The seminar was held at the Chinese University of Hong Kong on 20 June 2009 and opened by its Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Fung Tung. The topic of “Urban Tree Management in Singapore and the Upgrading of Arboricultural Work Practices” was delivered by our president, S.K. Ganesan who was the keynote speaker which attracted much interests from other regional tree care agencies and participating government bodies. Other themes presented includes NPark’s efforts in promoting urban tree biodiversity.

Being recognised as leaders in tree management and landscaping acknowledges the dedication and commitment of the many practising arborists in our tree care industry and NParks.

Upgrading of arboriculture standards and skills has always been the mainstay of the SAS, however all practising arborists also have an opportunity to exploit the regional diversity around us which is a vast potential for a new tree-based landscaping.

With this comes the responsibility of providing dedicated tree care through technical, academic learning and more importantly, in sharing of knowledge and experience among the professional tropical arboriculture community in the SAS.

The Singapore Arboriculture Society (SAS) was created in early 2007 in

response to a growing demand for the formation of a national body to represent professional and non-professional people involved in Singapore tree care.

The Singapore Arboriculture Society (SAS) is proud to foster its mission to

promote Singapore as a centre for tropical arboriculture and urban forestry

through research, technology, and education to enhance the professional

practice of arboriculture and foster a greater public awareness of the benefits

of trees.

NEWSFLASH!!! The Singapore Arboriculture Society (SAS) has concluded a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the International Society of

Arboriculture (ISA) in Hawaii on 8 August 2007.
