lurking women, care to introduce yourselves?

undergarments just for me, love it! thanks! sorry about the boxer briefs comment, tmi, too soon!
found all the old threads and am trying to get caught up...questions ahead.

how about a brief overview of the general posting etiquette? is it completely tacky to post similar questions? do you respond directly to someone, in public, or is that supposed to be in private? i have never been a part of a forum like this...
 
here's one moderator's slant on it: just play nice. the forum is HUGE now and everything has been discussed at some point somewhere. hard to find the previous discussions sometimes, at least for me. if a reply doesn't add anything at all to the thread, think about making into a PM rather than derailing (like i'm doing right now

)

just come on in and make yerself at home :)

there are some interesting women out there. i am glad i found this forum. i am not a climber but i am more into preservation, i love it all though. my name is starlet and i live in ct. women in the northeast and trees seem to go together. i look forward to everyone's knowledge.
 
And a big Welcome to another Gal from the Northeast, you are right up there with Bear and Melissa. Yes we are growing and thanks for finding us Dear Starlet.

To answer Kelly P also, this is an open formun as My Hero has explained, there is a lot of information here, no Miss Kathy you did not derail the thread. this one is to get yourself introduced and tell us a little more about one's self.

Dear Scarlet, so where in Ct are you. And can you explain more about being a perservest? I am a Rec climber and enjoy the trees for what they are.

Ask all the questions you want, someone will direct you to older posts of that is applicable for the question, the Guys will also chime in when they have something to add or not.

AGAIN - It's great to have more Women joining in the fun and tree and conversation about both.

thanks and have a glorious day

I HAVE A COMPANY OUT OF NEWTOWN CT. preservation is one aspect of what i love, i try to go in and save certain trees from damage when people are doing renovations or starting construction work. i hope to get into the appraisal part of it also. i would love to climb but a little toooo old for that one. so i just take care of them and work with a couple guys in the area for the big jobs, lets say if trees have to come down or what have you. does any one know of any great websites with free webinars about trees? i know cornell forestry is one and it is a great site, you can watch webinars for free about eab and all the other invasives. penn state also has a site for this.are any of you going to chicago? i hope to go if business is slow but will have to wait and see. if any one has any insight to educational conferences or again websites i am always looking for learning material. thanks for the welcome. i look forward to being apart of this forum.
take care starlet
 
do the women out there ever get on this web and talk or ask questions? i see alot of chatter from the guys but not the women. lets think of a new question, how about is anyone going to chicago for the conference?
 
The Gals do join in the fun and post on all the threads, as needed due to topic. We have had a few Gal topics here that the Guys post to also, this is an open place for all.

Enjoy what you find here and share us with others.

JZ - waiting for the red georgia mud to wash off the tires.
 
do any of the girls here in the northeast go to any of the training seminars? i see alot of them are out of rutgers. if any one has their own company what tree fertilizers do you use? do you try to stay organic?
 
Hi - I own a tree care company in Michigan. We are still hanging on here considering the economy....our company was established in 1995. My husband was the arborist and I was the ground crew/gardener. Now, I am a certified arborist, 3 classes away from my Landscape horticulutre degree and on my way to ASCA and I am a board member for the ASM. My husband is a board certified master arborist, 1 report away from a registered consulting arborist and a certified line clearance arborist. He will be attending the CTSP workshop in Chicago. I have worked in the field, never climbed though...a chair is high enough for me!!! Now, I run the office and all that entails. To answer Starlet's question, we try to stay organic. I have met some of you in Missouri and Starlet I met at the MTCC in 2009. Congratulations by the way!!!! This year, I am the chair for the MTCC - I would like to extend an invitation to all of you out there to come and visit us in Michigan this year. If you feel like volunteering, please contact ASM. I have a posting on the climbing competition buzz. All of your help will be more than appreciated. Nice to meet all of you WOTT members. I like this buzz board - it is nice to meet other women in the field.
 
dont worry dawn it was nice to know i was there??? smile, i love this line of work, i personally do not climb either but i do own my own company and do alot of tree care, i plan on expanding this season to alot of plant health care programs for my clients. the demand is good here and every one wants to get away from chemicals so my education came in quite handy. nice to meet you and welcome.
 
Hi all,

My name is Mary Anne and I'm a landscape architect, ecologist, and consulting arborist from Ontario. I'm new to TreeBuzz but am excited to join the community! Currently my tree climbing experience is limited to childhood forays, but I'm a recreational rock climber and have a climbing arborist friend who has offered to take me up sometime soon.

Good to meet you all!
 
welcome you are going to love the site. great information and everyone is really helpful. i hope you join in the conversations, there is always lots to learn. my name is starlet by the way, from newtown ct. certified arborist and i have my degree in horticulture. i love it!
 
Lurking women, the Today's Job thread is one that all can participate in, without having to compete with lunkheaded "I can out-climb you" stuff. Post up some pics of what you've been doing, or tell us a story!
 
Hi May,

Welcome to TreeBuzz.

In my experience new tree climbers with a rock climbing background find the transition very easy. They also make great tree climbers too. The traditions of rope care and handling that are found in rock climbing will serve you well in trees.

I started my company decades ago with a friend who climbed rock and mountaineering. One day I asked him which was harder to climb, rocks or trees. He said, without a nanosecond consideration, Trees! I asked why. He said, 'Rock doesn't move!' We both fell on the ground laughing :)

Sounds like you're plenty experienced enough to hang here!

Welcome!

Thanks Tom #2, I appreciate it!

Tom#1, I actually had my first tree climbing experience (other than lots of tree clambering in my childhood) recently with a local arborist friend of mine. While I agree that rock climbing is very useful for learning rope management and familiarity with heights, I have to say that tree climbing is very very different! Different ropes, knots, gear, climbing style... I have a lot to learn.

Looking forward to being a part of this community!
