Maine 2011 TREE CLIMBING CLASS BAR HARBOR AUG 12-13
We’re coming to Bar Harbor the second week in August. The class is for those who wish to learn about the sport itself and be able to climb on their own. The class lasts 1 ½ days and special arrangements can often be made if the posted schedule is not convenient. The first day starts off with the basic lessons about safety and technique and then after a climb in trees already set, it’s off to learn more about how to select the proper trees; how to throw and set the ropes; what sort of ropes and other equipment is needed; how to tie the proper knots etc. The afternoon is spent practicing and the student is then sent home with some rope to practice on (sort of homework…but fun).
The next morning, you get to use everything you learned, selecting the tree, throwing and setting the ropes and then tying the knots….then you climb the tree you prepared. Upon completion the graduate has demonstrated all the skills and techniques for using the ropes and equipment to safely climb in trees. We also go over the various equipment that is available throughout the arborist industry. Upon course completion a certification card and certificate is issued. Price $280 single or $250 per person for you and a friend. Email for availability gary@newenglandtreeclimbing.com and then signup under our link
