2010 Tree Climbing Competitions
GENERAL INFORMATION
New Zealand Arboricultural Association, in conjunction with STIHL, is running a series of four Regional Tree Climbing Competitions (TCCs) held across New Zealand.
The competitions are open to persons involved in all aspects of arboriculture.
The top climbers (plus special qualifiers and wildcards) from each of the Regional Tree Climbing Competitions will be eligible to compete in the STIHL / NZAA National Tree Climbing Championship (NTCC) held in November 2010, Auckland.
This is your chance to meet and compete with fellow arborists, learn new techniques and see first-hand differing climbing styles.
The overall winner of the NTCC will go on to represent New Zealand at the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) International Tree Climbing Championship (ITCC) held the following year in Brisbane, Australia during July 2011.
