Q: Are there any specific prizes or rec- ognition that participants can earn by competing in ArborSPORTS™? A: This is the first year and will be a proof- of-concept year with fair prizes such as PPE, gear and equipment, and most im- portantly, bragging rights to be the first pioneers in this bespoke competition. Q: What is the significance of the NATS SafeTreeTM Simulators, and how do they enhance the Arbor- SPORTSTM experience? A: The SafeTree™ (pat. pending) is an engineered solution that allows tree workers to train, practice year-round, inside or out, and improve the industri- al athletes they are! The SafeTree™ (pat. pending) allows limbs and sections of tree to be cut off and efficiently replaced to provide a high-qual- ity, safe, and consistent competitive envi- ronment. In addition to its realistic quali- ties, the SafeTree™ is reusable so that our limited urban forest resources do not need to be cut down just for the sake of training or evaluating tree workers.
Arborists train with advanced climbing methods, setting the stage for the dynamic challenges coming to ArborSPORTS.
