UK & I Tree Climbing Championships
12th - 14th September Is open to all levels of tree climbers. The TCC competition aims to simulate working conditions of arborists in the field. Male and female competitors complete five different events during preliminary rounds. Each event tests a competitor’s ability to professionally and safely manoeuvre around the tree canopy while performing work-related tree-care tasks in a timely manner. Advance booking is required via the link below. We would highly recommend reading and reviewing the rules before you attend. These events are great as you share and learn professional tree climbing skills with like minded people. Big question is will any lady climbers step up to test the talented reigning UK champion, Josephine Hedger?
These events are also seeking volunteers to assist with the comp so if you'd like to get involved you can contact the organisers via the apply link below.
These events provide excellent opportunities for professionals in the arboriculture sector to enhance their knowledge, network with peers, and stay updated on industry developments.
