The Birth of an Irish Tree Care Network

Visit The Irish Tree Care Network

This is my badge from a new network dedicated to qualified Arborists, treeclimbers and chainsaw operators in Ireland. You can get one too and more importantly, by joining this free (invitation only) network you can:

1. Share knowledge and information through out the Irish Treecare Industry and beyond
2. Watch and post videos about tree related matters
3. share photos
4. advertise your services
5. find new jobs
6. purchase equipment collectively and save money
7. improve your industry by supporting only qualified operators
8. lots more stuff

This is not a Facebook for Trees, it is designed as a professional place for professional people with one common goal:

"To strengthen the Treecare Industry in Ireland"

You may think, "not another network to waste my time on" but we have designed this network as a business tool not a place to gossip. Information will be regularly posted and available for all.

We aim for this network to be the birth place of the first organisiation in Ireland to truly cater for only qualified treeclimbers, groundsmen and arborists. We want to assist you in making the changes that are needed for Irish Tree Care

Apply for your invitation by filling in the box below:

If you need more info email kevin at treecareireland@opriusmail.com.
If you feel that you should be better respected as a professional arborist we want to know. If you need info about trees in an Irish context connect with this network. If you think we are crazy for starting a network we want to know why!

KARABINERS: Our search for the Perfect Connector

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The Quest for the perfect Karabiner

Everyone has a favourite one, some people have a many. Different colours, different shapes, different applications, numerous manufacturers and some interesting tales to tell.

"Do you fancy sharing your views, facts and stories to help others in choosing their karabiners?"

Who knows, we may help to change the way our connectors are made or just help to educate others on how and why we use these simple, vital and well engineered pieces of climbing gear.

Treeclimber.ie will be giving away FREE shiny new karabiners for the most interesting and informative suggestions so share your knowledge...

If your reading this, share it with others and do leave some comments...

Awaken the Lust for learning

Just a quick post about a new initiative we are launching at Tree Care Ireland. It's about being an instructor and a student at the same time, an expert and a novice in the same course. It is about sharing knowledge and re-gaining a love for learning new and exciting things and it doesn't cost anything. Nada, nix, nought. Have a look at this website and register. You need only have the time and desire to be part of a team.

The photo above was borrowed from an exhibition by K.L. Kamat. I hope he doesn't mind.
