Since 1994, we have been delivering all the latest news, reports, opinions and analysis to keep our readers up-to-date. Forestry Journal’s content very firmly reflects what today’s reader needs: journalism that gets behind the issues of legislation and personality; detailed reports covering all aspects of a very diverse industry, both in the UK and in Europe; and features that both inform and entertain. We report on all the important events where these decisions are made, many of which are key to the development of forestry policy throughout the UK. Surprisingly, at most of them Forestry Journal is the only forestry magazine present. Forestry Journal recognises that, if a magazine wishes to be taken seriously and respected by the forestry community, there are certain events that are simply too important to ignore! Forestry Journal is a major sponsor of the APF Exhibition, the main event in the UK forestry calendar. Other shows at which we have a presence include the South West Woodland Show; the Capel Manor Celebration of trees; the Arboricultural Association’s Arb Show and Elmia Wood in Sweden, which is the biggest forestry show in the world. The Forestry Journal reader, whether they work in forestry or a related industry, is part of a wider community dedicated to the continuation of the role of forestry in today’s busy world. Without their monthly read, life just wouldn’t be the same! Our magazines are a familiar sight at many shows around the country – not just forestry and arb shows, but many others that have a woodland section. In most cases, Forestry Journal and essentialARB are the only British magazines present. With samples distributed free to visitors, our advertisers are seen by all who visit the shows with a view to buying equipment – possibly even giving advertisers an advantage over those who exhibit at the event. Our readers subscribe because they regularly need to buy equipment to carry out the tasks in which they are involved on a day-to-day basis. Typically they do not subscribe to any other industry magazine. If your company’s name has never appeared in our Journals, you may be reducing the chance of them even considering you when they come to make a buying decision. To advertise, even occasionally, will get your product onto their shortlist. Editorial content is constantly varied to make it as relevant to as many audiences as possible, including managers, contractors and environmental professionals. This balance is achieved without alienating the contractors and forestry workers who make large capital investments in the machinery and equipment they need to run their businesses. These are the people who look to our magazines for information and buying advice, both in the form of articles and advertisements. WE CAN HELP! We can offer a range of marketing tools to assist you in raising your company profile. Advertising within Forestry Journal and essentialARB enables you to target both the wider forest industry and key specialties. As well as traditional magazine advertising, other options include advertising on our yearly wallplanner, being a competition sponsor, prominent exposure on our front cover, a company profile within the magazine or a product/service user profile.

Through the contributions of our writers we aim to raise awareness and promote best practice.

To reap the return from your advertising, you need to be telling your existing and potential customers who you are and what you have to offer them.

Its unique position has made essentialARB required reading for all in the industry – contractors, arborists, consultants, local authorities, managers and advisers – allowing them to keep abreast of the latest developments and make sound business decisions.
