- Researchers "X-Ray" a 300 Foot Tall Tree
"Zeb Haney, president of Tree Reource, will be leading a team of professional arborists on an expedition to map the interior of a centuries old Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). The team plans to use sound waves to show the wood density inside the trunk, from base to growing tip. This survey will potentially help arborists understand better the processes that occur in large, old trees." - Raising the Bar of Instruction "Just like many industries, competition is part of the game. But owners of two separate arborist training companies decided to put competition aside to pool their resources for the betterment of the arboriculture industry as a whole. The companies recently combined 460 years of industry experience to improve training methods while also finding ways to help reduce the ever-increasing rate of arborist fatalities."
- Human squirrels go for it "A tree-climbing competition attracts professional arborists from throughout the Northwest to Tacoma. They pride themselves on safety – and fun. They crept on branches 50 feet in the air, dangled from ropes and worked the trees like they were squirrels."
- High Climbing "The growl of chain saws interrupted the usual sleepy atmosphere of upper campus in June, as tree trimmers from Tree Resource shimmied up the 100-foot Douglas firs flanking the east side of Mary Baker Russell Music Center."
