    Probably a waste of time?

    Well said Royce. As a supplier of contractors, we typically lose a portion of our team each year to our clients or they branch out on their own, as I once did. We supply the resources and training, and reimburse our team for the costs associated with various credentials. When they depart it...

    Bringing talented young climbers to arboriculture

    Moss, let's get these kids to some local and regional TCC's. I could think of a ton of things they could be inspired by there. Even just rubbing elbows. Also, there are a few other extra curricular activities like Saluting Branches they could get involved with. It's great your doing this...

    best part of line clearance? Knockin' on doors
