Julian A. Dunster was born on October 28, 1954, in Derby, Derbyshire, United Kingdom. He is a son of Lewis Dunster, an engineer, and Christine Dunster, a headmistress.
Julian A. Dunster studied forestry at the University College of North Wales (currently Bangor University). He graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science degree. Then, he pursued his training at the University of British Columbia where he received a Master of Forestry degree two years later.
In 1988, Dunster gained a Doctorate in Regional Planning and Resource Development at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.
In 1973, Julian A. Dunster occupied the position of a technical consultant at Clogwyn Climbing Gear, United Kingdom. After four years in the company, he became a forestry manager Pugh-Lewis Ltd. and stayed there till the beginning of the new decade.
Then, he came to British Columbia, Canada where he participated in contract claim staking, prospecting, and exploration for gold and tungsten for a while. In 1981, Dunster was promoted to a district planning forester at Golden Forest District of British Columbia Ministry of Forests. He acquired enough experience, and three years later, founded his own environmental consulting firm called ‘Dunster and Associates Ltd.’. The same year, Dunster was assigned a registered professional forester at the Association of British Columbia Forest Professionals.
In 1986, the forester became a secretary at the Southern Ontario Section of the Canadian Institute of Forestry. At the end of the decade, he served as its vice-chair, chair, and director. The same 1986, Dunster joined the Society for Conflict Resolution in Ontario which he had directed for three years. Throughout his further career, he has been an expert witness in many court cases, and tree fatality inquests.
The administrative posts didn’t disturb Dunster to work as a visiting scientist in a department of forestry and wood science at the University College of North Wales (currently Bangor University).
Two years after this first experience at the university, Julian A. Dunster joined the department of geography at the University of Toronto in Ontario in a capacity of a sessional lecturer. These teaching posts were followed in 1989 by a post of an assistant professor in natural resources management program at Simon Fraser University where he remained one year. Later, Dunster has trained arborists in risk assessment in Hong Kong, and all over North America.
In 1997, Dunster founded the Bowen Island Conservancy aimed to preserve the natural resources of the island.
Nowadays, Julian A. Dunster is a principal of ‘Dunster and Associates Ltd.’ He is an active participant of industry conferences, workshops, and seminars in Canada, United Kingdom, United States, and abroad. He regularly shares his experience in assignments and planning in his own books and the articles for various periodicals, such as Forest Planning Canada, and International Journal of Ecoforestry. Among his most important books are ‘Arboriculture and the Law in Canada’ and co-authorship of ‘The Dictionary of Natural Resource Management’.
Dunster has taken part at the great number of projects, policy analysis and development, and some well-known environmental impact assessments, like authoring National Guidelines for EIA of Forestry projects in Nepal, and audits of forestry practices in Chile.
In addition to his service in the capacity of a consulting arborist and land use planner, Dunster also provides tests of sophisticated timber and wood for engineers, architects, homeowners, and government agencies. Among the famed examples of such projects are the Hollow Tree in Vancouver, and the Kinsol Trestle on Vancouver Island.

1997Quotations: "Writing is a means of communicating ideas and practical guidance to other disciplines. I see most of my work as a means of promoting better interdisciplinary understanding and an exchange of ideas between disciplines, with the goal of ensuring that each discipline involved in any one project clearly understands the thinking and language involved in any one discipline."
Julian A. Dunster’s wife is named Katherine. They have a daughter, Flora.
