About Our Tree Climbing Refresher and Advanced Tree Climbing
This is a two day course aimed at ecologists who are already trained and qualified in Tree Climbing and Aerial Rescue (City and Guilds NPTC Level 2) for the inspection of bird nests and potential bat roosts.
This is aimed at ecologists who for whatever reason have not had sufficient opportunities, experience or confidence in their climbing abilities who wish to practice and gain more experience and confidence in their abilities in a safe and controlled environment.
During the course, you will go through the safety implications of climbing, assessing a tree for climbing, the benefits of a competent grounds person, different technique for attaching your anchor points, practice and expand on your existing climbing abilities, practice aerial rescue, use of an endoscope in a tree.
The trainers are experienced tree climbers with over 20 years of combined experience including a level 2 bat licence holder. The event will be held in a private woodland located in North Shropshire near Whitchurch with a mix of pine and broadleaved trees including 5 known species of bat within the woodland.
