The time is once again upon us to volunteer our time, energy and especially your expertise to put on the Texas Tree Climbing Championship. For many years, you all have been the heart of the championship and we need your help again!
The Championship will be held this year in Waco. We will have a service/pruning day on Wednesday, September 29, gear check on Thursday, September 30th at the Waco Convention Center with the Championship to follow on Friday, October 1 & Saturday, October 2 at the Redwood Shelter in Cameron Park, Waco.
(NOTE: This year, the Climbing Championship will overlap with the Texas Tree Conference. The Texas Tree Conference Academy will be Wednesday, Sept. 29 and the Conference will be held all day Thursday, Sept. 30 and on Friday morning, Oct. 1. If you have questions about participating in both events, please contact Kirsten)
Please register as a volunteer as soon as possible so we can identify the resources we will need (hotels, food etc..) ahead of time. While the volunteer site will remain open, we are asking for everyone to register by August 13th.
When you sign up, you will be able to identify your past experience, share preferences as well as dates you will be available. Likewise, you will be able to fill out your release forms ahead of time.
We truly appreciate all you have given over the years but it is the cadre of climbers who come from all over the state and the country to compete that benefit the most from our efforts. We all know how powerful the championship is for the guys and gals in the field and it would not be possible without all of you!
Many thanks, and we look forward to seeing you all in Waco!
