Welcome to the newest topic section at The Knothole.

I've recently had several requests for a section where topics regarding climbing, safety and field technique can be discussed. Although this board was started as a site for consultants, it encompasses all aspects of arboriculture.

Of course, all the usual rules for The Knothole apply. Please read the HELP file (colored icon at the top of this page) for the rules and some tips on using this site. As always, suggestions and comments on the site are welcome and invited.

And finally, if you haven't already done so, or haven't in a long time, please stop by the Guestbook and sign in. The link is in the page header above.
