Hi I'm Treena. Thanks for the new forum! I am so happy to see WOTT on the Buzz! I am the municipal sector of arboriculture and LOVE it.

Hey Treena!

Like the name! What do you do for the municipal sector, Manage, plan, climb?

 

[treena]

Hi, I do plan review, preform tree risk assessments, landscape inspections and code enforcement of environmental ordinances. No on the job climbing. I have not climbed in over a year since I went from the private sector to the public sector.

Do you enjoy climbing for fun at all?
I don't climb professionally any more either, however, I love to climb for fun and I'm hooked on competitions. I'm awful at it, but I have a blast.

 

[treena]

Yes, I climb for fun too although sometimes I feel more like a sloth moving about the tree more than an arborist. I am finishing up my Master's Degree at Virginia Tech right now and don't have much free time after my day job. I hope to get back into training and enter my first TCC next April. In my chapter we only get about two women per year to enter the TCC. I have always chickened out.

Hey, whatya know, I'm known as a Sloth too! I'm sure you'll break out of that in no time when you get a chance to train. That's awesome you plan on competing. Good Luck!!
Also, congrats on getting your Masters and having a full time job. I can barely do the job thing without being exhausted.
