Hello, I am looking for a climber full or part time.
We are a small company with an established clientele and year round work.
Prior work as groundsman required. Climbing experience preferred.
Pay depends on experience.
Can start immediately.
Hey guys, Russell here. I have been down in South Mississippi since Katrina taking the non-profit route.
Why I post here? Because I need to find an income, at least short term.
My experience:
I have been climbing trees professionally since my humble beginnings in '99 in Seattle. In 2002, I...
Hey all, guess I haven't been around much, living in a tent in Gulfport, MS volunteering again. I am working with another certified arborist, Rob Crawford to try to save some of these trees down here along the coast. There is a lot to do, and a lot of hurdles, but somethi9ng needs to be done...
Hey, does anyone have any info or experience with the use of pine straw mulch around stressed live oaks? Is it too acidic? I am working on a project on the Mississippi Gulf Coast trying to revitalize some of the magnificent, yet extremely stressed out live oaks along Interstate 90. Any and all...

Hello all, Here it is the end of august already and I still am not ready for the road. It looks like it may be sometime in october before I FINALLY get up out of here, not that the Catskills are a bad place, just that I want to go on a national parks tour and be able to work...
I am helping a man clear a homesite in the Catskills and there are many nice cherry trees on the block. Grown in a densely wooded forest, these cherry trees range from 8-18' DBH and are clear lumber for at least 40' in most cases. Near Hunter Mountain, Catskills, easy road to site, there are...
I stopped at Action on my way back from Mississippi, I worked there for 3 days in MAy, I have been up here since then doing side jobs and such near Hunter Mountain. It is nice up here, I think I will stay until October or so. I've got a decent bit of work lined up. So far about 9 companies have...
I had the pleasure of working with Scott Selby and Four Seasons Tree Care for almost a year back in 2001/2002. Unfortunately, there was a lot of uncertainty in the market at the time, and I moved to Pennsylvania. I learned a great deal and was always well taken care of. Scott is a joy to be...
yeah Mark, that's original. Did you just now think of that? So are you gonna tell these guys that I know how to climb or what? At least tell them that I beat you in the throwline competition....twice.
I first want to say that until Katrina, I had never chased a storm. On Sept5 2005, the company I worked for Action Tree rervice in Warren, Nj bought me a plane ticket to Jackson, Mississippi. From there I took A bus to Meridian, MS. I wasn't allowed to bring a chainsaw on the plane, so I just...
I plan to sleep in a tent or in a hammock where the bugs are mellow. I don't really know how to answer about what climbing I can do. I footlock prunes, spike removals. I have had a little experience removing trees assisted by cranes. I have worked and climbed in the northwest with western...
Hello everyone, my name is Russell Freeman and I will be setting out in August to tour this great land. I am looking to work a couple days/weeks here and there to finance the trip. I have all of my own gear, including saws. I have been climbing trees professionally and proficiently for about six...
