YouTube channels about tree work: four trade bodies and ten independent channels described from their About pages

This directory describes channels by what their own About pages say, and nothing is ranked or rated. Subscriber and video totals are the figures shown on the About pages on October 9, 2026, and they change daily. Trade bodies are listed first, then individual channels. Channels whose About page carried no description of their own are left out, and so are channels whose description is mainly a sales or contact notice. Self-descriptions such as a stated qualification or years in the trade are the channel's own statements and have not been checked.
