Photo of the Week: It’s a Friday – feel like hanging around?

We sure did!

That’s why today we joined Davey Trees during his Tree Climbing class at the U.S. National Arboretum to check things out, and we weren’t disappointed.  He took our Summer Crew through a lesson in arboriculture like we’ve never experienced before: we discussed arborist history, tools of the trade, safety procedures and terminology, and some of us even got to experience it for ourselves! Obviously, the new-found knowledge doesn’t exactly qualify the Summer Crew as certified arborists, but they’re much more in tune now with the concepts behind pruning, tree climbing, and tree safety. And that’s just the start!
