Its a competition put together by PLANET. Its for colleges to bring together their landscape students and enter then into everything from pavers to aboriculture.

Its a great place to recruit people with an ambition for our industry. I went 2 years in a row and was surprised about the lack of arborist companies other than Davey and Bartlett.

Oh and BYU always places in 1 or 2 if not 1 and 2. I'm bias so I'll leave it at that

Looks like it will have to be second then because we all know the PACK is taking it all home this year!! Haha.

It might be but, since I've only been in one competition so far so I'm sure I'll learn something. Also, it should be pretty competitive with all of the Horticulture colleges that will be there. It will be good fun either way...plus lets face it, that's a whole week of classes I get to skip for free...yesss.

no comps for pros - it's a school/career/recruitment event. fun to attend if one happens to be in the neighborhood
