Training & Credentials
Community & Safety
The work we do off the clock keeps the work we do on the clock safe and accountable.
Tree work is small-world work. The events, trainings, and volunteer days below are how we stay sharp, stay connected, and give back to the people who got us here.
Robert competes, judges, and sponsors regional tree climbing competitions across the South Central chapter. Competition days are where technique gets tested against the clock, gear gets a hard look, and the rest of the field rubs off on you. It is how a climber stays current.
Every third Wednesday of September, tree care crews across the country donate a day of work at veterans cemeteries. Pruning, removals, planting, cleanup. Home Grove shows up every year. The grounds we work on look better the day after, and it is one of the few things in this industry that has nothing to do with billing.
Robert organizes Rescue in the Park, a regional aerial-rescue training day for working climbers and arborists. The scenarios are drawn from real incident reports. The point is not to win anything. The point is for every climber on the rope to know what to do the day something goes wrong sixty feet up.
On weekends throughout the year, Robert hosts open climbing meetups at a local park for working arborists, ITCC competitors, and climbers who want to drill SRT, MRS, footlocking, limb walks, and rescue scenarios in a low-pressure setting. Open to anyone in the trade. Bring your own gear and a hard hat.
A few times a year we partner with local schools, parks departments, and neighborhood groups to plant native trees in public spaces around the River Valley. Selection, siting, and planting are all done to ISA standards so the trees still stand twenty years from now.
"Tree work is dangerous, isolating work. The community is how we keep each other sharp and safe. None of this happens alone."
Whether you have a tree concern or want to learn more about Rescue in the Park, give us a call.
