A minimum of three full days of intensive training and practice provide climbers the opportunity to observe, and perform a variety of climbing techniques needed to perform their intended program of work. Tools and equipment necessary for each task are also thoroughly explained and explored. Whether it is cone collection, nest box installation, canopy research or anything in between, our master climber/instructors have the experience and skills, and are willing and able to teach you what you need to know. ..."
