Roads Beautifying Association

The Association was one of experts who advised on verges, the course, trees and shrubs that would remain safe and cheap to maintain in particular new road schemes and areas
A 'rash' sherry party which members including the Duke of Devonshire attended, led to the advisory body's demise.
Chatsworth House was among many estates of England that the President of the Society owned and improved. He achieved wide cross-party recognition for work on his own estates and today the gardens including its above roof-height mountain-fed fountain jet are listed.

The Roads Beautifying Association (1928–c. 1950) was founded in the United Kingdom by Lord Mount Temple, the Minister of Transport in 1928 who appointed as its (Hon.) Secretary Dr. Wilfrid Fox who served throughout and whose work was praised on the organisation's demise by government and opposition alike.

The association had the aim of creating better planted and more aesthetically pleasing roads to accommodate cars around the United Kingdom. It published Roadside Planting in 1930. It contributed in biodiversity, overall layout and on safety grounds to many public works programs.
