Join The Amenity Forum

The Amenity Forum is the Voluntary Initiative for the amenity sector on all aspects of weed, pest and disease management. It is recognised as such by Government, who look to all involved in industry, working through the Amenity Forum, to demonstrate best practice and continually drive up standards. In its implementation of the European Directive on Sustainable Use (SUD), the UK adopted a national action plan with measurable outcomes and targets.

The Forum seeks to deliver the following:

• Be the voice for the sector on all matters relating to the management of amenity spaces
• Lead, encourage and coordinate best practice in the sector
• Coordinate and encourage networking, training and CPD activity
• Organise activities within the Amenity Forum membership and raise awareness more widely.

The Amenity Forum seeks to help deliver this and, through it, allow our sector to continue to operate, producing safe, healthy and sustainable amenity areas that are fit for purpose.

Who are our members?
