2022 Women’s Climbing Workshop 15 and 16 October 2022
An informative and interactive training day for women currently working in the arborist industry, or interested in exploring potential workplace opportunities in allied industries such as tree canopy access for environmental practices, research or recreational purposes.
Experienced and qualified tree climbers lead activities ranging from a basic tree climbing through to more medium and advanced climbing techniques, including:
correctly implementing fit-for-purpose equipment
tree inspection techniques
gear inspection
the physics of tree climbing
chainsaw maintenance (safe use at ground level & in the canopy)
aerial rescue
arborist knots
Participants have an opportunity to engage in a free climb activity in a safe learning environment to improve their tree canopy access skills.
The workshop offers an open and inclusive environment for all women, regardless of ability, to either learn basic skills or improve their canopy access techniques to minimise the risks associated with tree climbing.
Participants must bring:
own personal protective equipment (helmet, eyewear & gloves)
appropriate climbing clothes and shoes (see climbing guidelines link)
water bottle
Please note:
Morning tea and lunch provided.
Participants arrange own transport and accommodation. Local accommodation providers will be available soon.
More details soon.
