I've seen 2 new awesome resources pop up in the comments this week (I haven't added them to the list yet my personal life is chaos right now). I'd love to know if you guys have come across any other books, websites, videos etc that you find very useful and informative to add to the list.

Here is the current list of resources.

I'd love to get as many resources as possible outside the US.

For trees my all time favorite is the Arbor Day Foundation's Tree City USA Bulletin series. The first 10 or so is an amazing general overview of tree husbandry and biology, with much of the rest being about developing roads/buildings/developments with trees in mind.
