Our Involvement in the Tree Care Community

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.

Regional Climbing Competitions

Robert competes, judges, and sponsors regional tree climbing competitions. 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.

Saluting Branches

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.

Rescue in the Park

Robert organizes Rescue in the Park, a local aerial rescue training day for working climbers and arborists. The point is not to win anything. It is for every climber on the rope to know what to do the day something goes wrong high in a tree.

Robert hosts open climbing meetups for working arborists and climbers who want to sharpen their rope and rescue technique alongside others in the trade. Hands-on practice, focused on skill and safety.

"Tree work is dangerous, isolating work. The community is how we keep each other sharp and safe. None of this happens alone."
