Mark Bury Books

Knowledge Built on Experience. Written for Professionals. Accessible to Everyone.

Mark Bury Books is an independent publishing initiative dedicated to producing authoritative, practical, and evidence-based publications in the fields of arboriculture, urban forestry, environmental management, and mental health. Every book is written with a commitment to transforming complex information into clear, practical guidance that readers can apply with confidence.

Founded by Australian arborist and author Mark Bury, the collection draws upon more than four decades of professional experience in tree management, local government, consulting, risk assessment, and environmental planning. The publications are designed to bridge the gap between scientific research, legislation, Australian Standards, and the realities faced by practitioners working in the field.

The arboricultural collection covers a broad range of specialist topics, including urban forestry, tree biology, biomechanics, tree risk assessment, development impacts on trees, tree protection during construction, species characteristics, tree valuation, planning legislation, and sustainable management of urban forests. These books are written to support consulting arborists, local government officers, planners, engineers, landscape architects, environmental consultants, students, educators, legal professionals, and anyone responsible for managing trees within the built environment.

Complementing the technical publications is a growing range of books focused on mental health, emotional wellbeing, and personal development. These works combine contemporary research with lived experience to provide practical guidance for individuals, families, carers, educators, and health professionals. They are written to promote understanding, reduce stigma, encourage resilience, and support meaningful recovery.

Every Mark Bury Books publication shares the same guiding principles:

  • Evidence-based and professionally researched.
  • Practical, clear, and easy to apply.
  • Written from real-world experience.
  • Aligned with recognised Australian standards, legislation, and best practice where applicable.
  • Designed to educate, inform, and support better decision-making.

The vision of Mark Bury Books is to create a trusted library of resources that professionals, students, organisations, and the wider community can rely on for years to come. Rather than producing books that simply explain theory, the focus is on delivering publications that solve problems, improve professional practice, encourage lifelong learning, and contribute to better environmental and community outcomes.

As new research, standards, and legislation continue to evolve, Mark Bury Books will continue to expand its catalogue, ensuring readers have access to current, reliable, and practical information across both technical and personal development disciplines.

Whether helping professionals manage Australia's urban forests or supporting individuals on their mental health journey, Mark Bury Books is committed to one enduring purpose: sharing knowledge that makes a lasting difference.
