Become a Better Climber with The Tree Climber’s Companion

ISA offers a variety of educational materials and products to help arborists expand their professional knowledge and experience. Every month, we will feature a product or group of products. In July, ISA will feature the third edition of The Tree Climber’s Companion by Jeff Jepson.

The Tree Climber’s Companion is an excellent reference and compact training manual for tree climbers. Significantly expanded upon, the third edition includes two new sections: “The Well-Prepared Climber,” which emphasizes the importance of acquiring as much knowledge and training as possible along with the proper equipment, and “Working in the Tree,” which covers the basic cutting and rigging techniques used during pruning, removal, and storm damage operations.
