From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alan Mitchell (4 November 1922 - 3 August 1995) was a British forester, dendrologist and botanist, and author of several books on trees.
He almost single-handedly measured every notable tree in the British Isles, founding the Tree Register of the British Isles (T.R.O.B.I.), which held records of over 100,000 individual notable trees at the time of his death.
