The 2007 Texas Tree Climbing
Championship, Aerial Rescue Workshop and Mayors Challenge were
huge successes! Please fill out the
Exit Survey to help us improve the event for next year. Click here to see
some of the pictures. See you next year...
Come to Dallas and see if you have
what it takes to be the next Texas Tree Climbing Champion - and
while you are there get ISA Tree Worker Certified. Alongside
this year’s competition will be a workshop and evaluation to
qualify contestants for the
ISA Tree Worker Certification. As an added bonus, the
Mayor’s challenge will return. On Thursday after the workshop
watch Texas Mayors compete for the Mayor’s Championship.
