After four years of research and writing, his book, The Tree Experts: A History of Professional Arboriculture in Britain, is scheduled to be published.
Johnston said: This is the first book to tell the story of Britain’s professional tree experts, from the Romans to the present day. It also highlights the influences from continental Europe and North America that have helped to shape British arboriculture over the centuries. It’s a hardback of some 550 pages and is based on a substantial amount of original and meticulous research. It has around 100 colour and BW illustrations, including many rare and unique images. I’m very grateful to some 70 individuals from the world of arboriculture, landscape, garden history and other disciplines who contributed to the research and production of the book.
Residential gardens are a poor substitute for native bushland and increasing urbanisation is a growing threat when it comes to bees, Curtin University.

Residential gardens are a poor substitute for native bushland and increasing urbanisation is a growing threat when it comes to bees, Curtin University research has found.
Published in Urban Ecosystems , the research looked at bee visits to flowers, which form pollination networks across different native bushland and home garden habitats.
Lead author, Forrest Foundation Scholar Miss Kit Prendergast, from Curtin s School of Molecular and Life Sciences said the findings highlight the need to prevent destruction of remaining bushland and preserve native vegetation, in order to protect sustainable bee communities and their pollination services. Our study involved spending hundreds of hours at 14 sites on the Swan Coastal Plain at Perth, Western Australia, recording which bees visited which flowers in the two types of habitats - gardens and native bushland, Miss Prendergast said.
