Try contacting our (Torbay's) twin town - Hellevoetsluis. They have loads
of local tree nurseries, and tree contacts; and speak english. It is some
time since I was involved with them, but contacting the town's tourist
office (which'll be on the net) should get you started

Subject: Dutch Study Tour
Dear All
I am in the early stages of trying to arrange a study tour for a group of
2nd year ND Arb students this coming Easter. Having had a thoroughly
enjoyable and informative study tour to Holland myself in 1996 I am keen to
return with my own group. I have a rough idea of what I would like to
include on the itinery.
A tree nursery specialising in the growing of advanced nursery
stock/semi-mature trees.
A visit / talk by one of Amsterdams municipal tree officers.
A visit to a botanical garden/arboretum
A visit to a working site of established Dutch arboricultural contractors
An research institution dealing with tree pathology.
I would be interested to know if any of the forum have any knowledge,
experience, contacts or ideas with regards to arboriculture in Holland. The
internet is a wonderful place for gathering information, but my command of
the language is non-existent and subsequently makes things a little tricky.
If any one can offer any help or guidance please do not hesitate to contact
me off-forum.
Many thanks in anticipation.
